    I wish i wasn’t having as much trouble finishing this book as I am, and honestly the only reason i haven’t DNFed is bc i’m listening to the audiobook instead of reading it physically. It started off pretty good but at this point it’s getting sooooo repetitive to the point that it’s not suspenseful, it’s just dragging out. I’m gonna finish it ofc bc I would do anything for the lesbians but I’m struggling 😭

    Hi, hi, I love having themed months and in March I like to pick up Irish authors. I would greatly appreciate some recommendations, as it is a bit difficult finding some. Thank you in advance. : ) šŸ«¶šŸ¼šŸ«¶šŸ¼šŸ«¶šŸ¼

    have truly never read a more accurate description of what it's like commuting into London in my life:

    'I do need to get to the station for my train to work, and the overground runs every fifteen minutes!' - felt that, it feels like so long when the tube is every 3-7 minutes peak hour

    'onto platform, faces up, them seeing me, me seeing my own face, body, legs, etc assessing the me which I cannot see but see them seeing forgetting to assess them because I am too busy assessing what they're assessing'

    'BANK (how many entrances are there!?)'

    You know when Mercedes Iman Diamond said "opulenceeeee, you own everythingggg!" while voguing across the RuPaul soundstage - this book is that.

    The overt prose has already coped a lot of heat, but I'm here to put my stake in the ground and say.. I liked it! It felt stylistically extravagent and gaudy, and fit right in with the story being told. I fully understand the copious critique that it felt about as subtle as a sledgehammer; similies and metaphors are over-explained and the audience is hand-held the entire way, but I'm here for it. Because, despite all that being true, the story still holds a ton of lurking symbolism that unveils connections within the layers of narrative that is not immediately obvious. I bet there is so much that is missed by a reader during their first read through, and that, to me, is the mark of a well-crafted novel.

    Overlaying the historic French Revolution upon an industrial setting made the story feel inventive and smart. The author's choice to interplay class dynamics with the devilish main characters created a toxic yet entertaining narrative where you want to root for Marie and Sadie, but equally you really don't.

    My only critique is that rather than the story developing from the characters themselves, they instead felt a little pigeon-holed to fit into the shape of the story.

    Nevertheless, I enjoyed the increasingly nail-biting choices and feverish rise in tension that escalates into a slightly bizarre yet boisterously captivating story.
