Status Updates From Il mio omicidio

loving this

I’ve hit a turning point and it’s good!

this is a wild ride

i like the writing style so far!

very interesting so far but I keep getting sidelined by all the future tech talk lol

Still enjoying it🤗

This book is great so far, except when she says murder. I want to rip my hair out every time the narrator says murder.

i was bored but now the ending might be redeeming the story????? idk!

i am,, bored 🙃

Interesting! Would appreciate it if we could flesh out some of the surrounding characters a bit more :)

out of my reading slump!!

Really interesting concept so far, curious to see where it goes

Enjoying so far

For a book with such an interesting premise, she’s taking a long time to get any sort of interesting

I'm so interested in the premise of this but the prose is so icky, I might drop it if it doesn't improve soon

Loving this book so far!!

fucking brilliant

what a strange book

I felt disoriented at first, but that might be intentional given the subject matter. I mean, it would be a lot to process being murdered and cloned.

I didn’t think I liked this and now I’m so ready to know who did the murder and I kinda love it.

this is going in a very different direction than I thought it would...

This is weird.

This is such an interesting plot so far

This feels like Black Mirror in print.

This story is studded with little insights into being human that sit like catseyes in the middle of a dark road: how women form friendships; how trying to explain our impulses feels like making up a story rather than admitting that we don't know why we did something beyond knowing that, in that moment, we chose to do it.

And yet, I feel the catseyes are not creating empathy and intimacy but documenting alienation.

The narrator's habitual honesty is not a comfortable thing to observe. It's not that she always tells the truth to others but rather that her observations about her own behaviour are intimate in their details but detached in tone, as if she was both specimen and observer. It's a curious mix of insight without agency that's disquieting, not quite human,

I'm enjoying the writing. It' enriched by turns of phrase and metaphors that are used to develop the estranged-from-her-own-life view of the main character rather than being self-conscious literary flourishes.

FINALLY we are to this. i am fully enjoying the ride, but i was wondering when we would get to this part

The first-person voice is quietly unsettled and quietly (but unceasingly) unsettling. It's unsettling to hear that voice tell you that she knows that her husband doesn't like her calling her before-she-was-murdered-and-cloned self 'Your-first-wife" and calling her that anyway because she can't stop herself. It's more unsettling to suspect that in reality, doesn't want to stop herself and then wonder what that means.

I like the first-person voice. It's quietly unsettled and quietly (but unceasingly) unsettling. Ir's hearing that voice tell you that she knows that her husband doesn't like her calling -before-you-were-murdered-and-cloned as your-first-wife and calling her that anyway because she can't stop herself. It's thinking (and probably doesn't want y that refering to the pre-murder you as your hu
