finally found the time and energy to properly start reading this. i bought it in bordeaux (like 3 weeks ago) and my girl is HEAVY. not fatshaming this book but jesus christ you’re only 400 pages how can you weigh 30kg !? also did get rained on- manifesting no mould. anyway i quite like the way mcewan writes, maybe it’s just these characters but it’s quite introspective and i am a MASSIVE fan of introspection !

i usually wouldn’t add another update until i’d finished the book but OH MY GOD. i am so so upset. it is so much better than i’d even hoped since i last put it down. the way mcewan captures the suffering pain made me cry on several occasions in hyde park. i feel yearning for these characters. honestly the best book i’ve read in so long.

omg i am so attached and so invested. i haven’t felt this way about a book in so so long. it’s so so good. met this girl at an arcade bar who lectures english literature (she reminded me of ms. cardinale) but she said that it would get even better and it has. robbie is such an interesting character and i want him and cecilia happen !!! anyway perspective has just switched- can’t wait to hear brionys perspective

i am quite thoroughly enjoying this !! it’s spiffing ! (i am trying to talk like these stuck up characters !!). anyway i like how each character gets caught up in their own little worlds and ambitions. i think i do like cecilia the best - she just seems nice and interesting and like she’s hiding something- very intriguing !! anyway no plot has really happened yet so i’m waiting for that but otherwise perfection
