Status Updates From Los reflejos de la luna

I love Wharton’s writing, but omg with the pacing

You will not enjoy this book unless you’re reading it for the absurdity of the early 20th century upper class

Yearning!!

I’m in love with Nick Lansing

Possibly my favorite start to a Wharton novel; scheming lovers on a mission

Nick Lansing and Susy Branch don’t have money, but they’ve got charm and good looks, so they live off the generosity of their wealthy friends. Yet both characters crave something deeper—real love, dignity, and a sense of belonging that can’t be borrowed like a palazzo in Venice. I’m quite expecting the whole thing to end in a full-blown tragedy.
