Read 2 times. Last read September 22, 2021 to September 24, 2021.
Things I like:
- books with like, fake documents and stuff in them
- unreliable narrators
- mental breakdown fiction
Things I don't like:
- undying devotion
Things I learned while reading this:
- I hate undying devotion so much and find it so painfully secondhand-embarrassing to read about that it threatened to overcome all the things I DO like, even though previously I would have said love is stronger than hate
- The power of cringe is the strongest force in the universe.
Bottom line: End earnestness forever!!!

pre-review

review to come now / 3 i think
--------------
currently-rereading updates

Read this in one sitting. Was kind of obsessed with it afterwards. 😆 Interested to see what you think.

Oh nooo. You have to read the physical book with this one. The way the pages are done is part of the experience.
@ivy wish i'd known! it was the only copy i had access to

This was on my TBR, then the purge fairies disappeared it, maybe i should fire those fairies and put it back on my list

Audiobook narrators can make or break a reading experience imo. Best one is Donna Tartt's narration of the Secret History *chef's kiss*

Wow, honestly never would have guessed, I loved her delivery. Guess it just goes to show everyone's tastes are different lmao
