Oh Esther😔❤️‍🩹

"I hated the idea of serving men in any way" lol yes don't transcribe their letters diva

"I thought how strange it had never occurred to me before that I was only purely happy until I was nine years old" 😩

"I thought it sounded just like the sort of drug a man would invent" lol

"All my life I told myself studying and reading and writing and working like mad was what I wanted to do, and it actually seemed to be true, I did everything well enough and got all A's, and by the time I made it to college nobody could stop me." 😀AND YET

I think Esther's breakdown in this book might break ME

This whole bar scene is so uncomfortable
