Status Updates From The Curious Case of Benjami...

Now that I’ve finished the fifth short story (The Diamond as Big as the Ritz), yk what hell yeah. Loved the twist. I started to enjoy it when I realized what Fitzgerald was trying to say in this story. The racism made me wanna puke tho.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was… odd. Interestingly odd. Different from the movie trailer I saw.

Currently reading the fifth short story. The racism is off-putting but an important reminder of the reality in the US just a few generations ago. Also reminds me a lot of why people say “Eat the rich.”

I just finished the third short story. Shocking but understandable ending. I kinda liked it but also not, maybe 3.5 stars

this is my first time reading this lmao. immediately I am confused - where is the mom in all of this???

(Before I forget) The second story is irritating and sexist (duh, but still)!!!!! The first one was fine.
