“Now I had nobody left to love”

This book fucks with me. The existential horror of solitude

Two left. This book is so sad

“Survival is no more than putting off the moment of death”
“You cannot grieve what you do not know”

I love both of these quotes. Reminders of what survival during active addiction was vs the life I have today (thriving).

This book is fucking me up. It’s a similar existential horror as a short stay in hell by Steven peck. That book messed me up for days and this I’m sure will be the same.

Goodnight Dorothy. You were loved by the 39 women who called you a friend. I also forgot to mention it, but it kinda messed with me the image of the women beneath the blankets and how uncomfortable they got when explaining why they were paired

Bruh. This book is fucking me up. I didn’t think it was realistic. Nope. It is. The women trapped in a cage that didn’t get out is very realistic. This book is sheer horror conceptualized.

This book is so sad. And it’s not even that sad yet. I just am getting attached to the characters :(

Wait nvm. They explained it

This is so good. Some stuff doesn’t make sense because apparently she’s been raised in confinement so she knows nothing yet at the same time she also knows a lot (especially about topics she wouldn’t otherwise know like times tables and division)
