Will be coming back to this!!! Realized I wanted something lighter 

I frankly just don’t like a funny book. I actually think I would love to see this on the stage, as it’s well suited for a play, and maybe I’d like it if I were reading it for a class on its literary/historical merit. But for funsies? No go

Respectfully, I just hate nonfiction. Especially memoir-style nonfiction. Who are you?? Why do I care?? 

My Libby loan ended and also my yearly hyperfixation fizzled 

I don’t think I want to read about WWI right now

Literally so disturbing and for WHAT. I like a dark novel but the sudden body horror was simply too much and wasn’t even remotely connected to the plot or any character development. Shock just for scandal’s sake. I couldn’t recommend it to anyone in good conscience. Also, the characters never revealed who they were. Each action they made caught me off guard consistently; I’d think I knew each character and then they’d react in a way completely unhinged from any prior development or plot. Seemed confused in its vision and goal; instead all I got was that to be a modern lesbian you had to mutilate yourself— literally and figuratively. I thought about finishing just to say I’d read it, but after sleeping on the horrifying porno scene, I couldn’t justify putting myself through that for a book that wasn’t even important to me in the first place. 

Okay but WHY did Michael and Ellis kiss? What did they think of each other? What did they think of anything at all? Events kept happening but for no apparent reason

I can’t read about ppl being sad at college rn <3

Even though I know this book actually did it FIRST, it felt too much like a Six of Crows x Red Rising attempt. Which would have been fine if the characters had endeared me… But perhaps for another time
