Status Updates From The Miseducation of Cameron...

Dnf

I don’t have a roof but my books are fine so we’re bringing this back cause I read it after last year’s Hurricane too😭

plot and themes pages 1 through ~250: grief but beautifully explored, and cameron is having these typical teenage lesbian experiences that almost (almost!) makes me want to go back to that period of my own life.

pages ~250 and onward since The Incident: actual dread, no words honestly, i’m depressed, no hope

this better have a happy ending or i’ll kms
(*I love this book*)

Lindsey es linda pero no puedo dejar de pensar en Irene 😭😭

depresión

"¿Cómo era posible, si mis padres estaban muertos, que aún existiera una parte de mí que sentía alivio por no haber sido descubierta?"

okey se acabó la felicidad

QUE LINDAS SON

Empezamos fuerte

Oh boy here we go...

182 and 188<3 I like Jamie a lot. I was worried but I like him a lot. I hope that doesn't change, I don't think it will. Forever mad at the movie for leaving him out (and more than half of the characters I've read about so far). Oh well... ALSO wow "Emily M. Danforth" sure as hell knows how it is to fall in love with a straight girl. Let me tell you.

No words, just this part: "A wink coming from anyone else, like that ranch hand or one of the community-college boys who hovered around and took the leftover doughnuts to their dorms, would have been predictable and annoying something you did to the orphaned tomboy. But the way Coley did it made me feel like we already had some sort of secret between us."

Het is een talent om zo een zwaar onderwerp zo makkelijk te lezen te maken. Momenten van inzinking dat dit een realiteit was en is voor mensen gaan gepaard met lachen omdat ze weet hoe het licht te houden

So good so far...

this has been on my tbr for second longest (since 2020) and now let’s try

getting thru it cmon

Even een break van Dorian Gray want het is een beetje taai en moet even m’n reading arc weer goed inkomen dus iets modernere stof lezen

Gas so far. Really resonating with Cameron’s young experiences with internal and external homophobia (14 and thinking you are a dirty pervert because you want to kiss your friend)
Excited to see where it goes from here!

"russian tea"
я погуглила потім про це і там цей чай майже не національний напій
ну коли буде хоч одна книга без москалів

цікаво, настільки реально успішні оці християнські табори, щоб зробити з тебе гетеро домогосподарочку

So fucking good.

On se fait moins chier j'avoue je me plains pas trop

On se fait toujours chier

Euh j'avoue je m'ennuie là

тітка думає про краще, але робить тільки гірше

So heartbreaking so far 😭

bardzo długi build-up do tego, co jest opisane z tyłu okładki, ale szczerze zupełnie mi to nie przeszkadza. Also uwielbiam małe detale, które autorka wplata w opisy, takie jak zapachy, drobne fizyczne odczucia, itp.

Main takeaway so far is that the book has a lot more exposition than the movie!

Rereading cause summer, duh
