I am so unsettled by this book, I can’t wait for it be over so I can return to a world of relative normalcy. Whatever that really means.

It’s so odd

Also after this book, I am reading the most orthodox book, just to reset my brain, like wtf is this

“Maybe my life isn’t as serious as yours. But I’m a person.”

Me when my colleagues ask me what I did on the weekend

Let me catch you up on the misadventures of our mc, she’s at the 14 year wedding anniversary of the man she’s sleeping with and his quite lovely wife and she’s wearing a dress the wife gave her. Carrie Bradshaw you’ve been outdone

“Of all the men I’ve slept with at work, this is the one who cost me the most”

She’s certifiable

“You fucking slut,” he says, and then releases me”

I beg your pardon

“Some men at least have the decency to guide you immediately to all the things that are wrong with them”
Real

This is the first time in the history of the world that someone has opstrung these sentences together:

“And when we fight in private, I want him to maybe accidentally punch me. I want us to have a long, fruitful bird-watching career, and then I want us to find out we have cancer at exactly the same time. Then I remember his wife, the coaster eases downward, and we fall.”
