"The pain was awful: her lower jaw was fractured on the right side of her face and most of her teeth were missing. Her head, essentially, was “extremely rotten”—with all the putrefaction that implies. But she was alive, still. Her whole head was rotting, but she was still alive."

Every page of this book has me losing my mind about these poor women, oh my god

I'm sorry but men are so easily impressed by other men and truly have NO sense of suspicion in situations where being skeptical should be the default, it sickens me.

This line has me cackling!! Plus, it could work for so many things unfortunately.

America: We Don't Mind Child Labor and Dangerous Working Conditions Actually, But Don't Say It Out Loud Because That Would Look Sooooo Bad For Us Omg!!!

Reading with the utmost shock and horror. I'm only 15% of the way through and already my face hurts from the grimacing I can't help but keep doing as I continue to read. OH MY GOD?!
