i’m gonna finish this tmr mark my word

“I have put between myself and my parents such a gulf of sophistication that it’s impossible for them to touch me now, or to reach me at all. And I look back across that gulf not with a sense of guilt or loss, but with relief and satisfaction. Am I better than they are? Certainly not, although maybe luckier.”

im not blaming the book for the reading slump ive been in since i started this, but im gonna put this one on pause for a bit bc i had to return it to the library
