chose not to finish this tonight because i want to take time (even if it is a few hours) to process and let this sink in a bit more.

every time she has a conversation with another guy (or her mum) i literally read it like this ☹️.

i also get so sad whenever it’s looking good between them and then i see that a time skip is about to happen on the next page. the time skips make everything so fucking sad to me

my predictions of this book drastically changed around page 80 and i’m very happy they changed.

i sadly feel i have lived/ am currently living through parts of both of their lives.

taking a break and hopefully finishing tonight

fuck my eyes for being so heavy i want to keep reading. i know it’s not going to last but i am so here for the marianne college happiness and connell college sadness.

fuck him so mega hard, only reason i can rationalize marianne having feelings is because it’s paul mescal and same girl

the “i love you” but no invite to the dance is crazy.

marianne deserves better af
