Status Updates From A Green Equinox

Really not feeling this one. I'd like to see where the plot goes but the prose is so sickeningly precious and the characters so annoying (with Hugh being actively loathesome) that it's very hard to continue. Mavor just continually gets in the way of her tale. It's frustrating because I think she might have something interesting to say but she just can't spit it out.

"You do know that I'll live it with you, every moment of it, if this is to be your death."

RIP Freud you would have loved reading about a sad old woman with mommy issues fantasising about her married-partner's widowed-mother

"It [The Rococo] was without question the worst and most provocative of all styles."

Time for some art history controversy!!!!

Biggest cop-out ever??? "Poems have been written about moments like this, so explanation isn't necessary."

Go fuck yourself

Well that page will haunt me forever

Everyone in this damn book talks like they have never talked before.


Also why are we saving trees and thinking about threesomes??

I do not want to read the phrase "globular breasts" ever again thank you Lizzie xox

Stole this from my girlfriend, it better be gay

“I was desperate with grief and anger, for whatever it was going to be, I had wanted to live her death with her. And she had cheated me of what seemed the greatest gift she could make me, my chance to love her, no matter how poor, mad, terrible. It wouldn’t have mattered.”

“All night, When I returned to my own bed, I was unable to sleep a wink because of restlessness and a queer kind of nausea.”

“So, as the room darkened I read her the whole of ‘Sappho to Philaenis’, or nearly the whole of it”

I'm loving the imagery in this book, the prose is sooooo good
