This book is torture.
I need to finish what I’ve started.

I actually puke a little when they flirt with each other

ANNE’S DIARY ENDS HERE

Im sorry what

Anne is TEACHING ME THINGS “I used intimacy to get closer to him, and in doing so, I ruled out other forms of friendship”

“A quiet conscience gives you strength” is my favorite thing she’s said

“Religion keeps a person on the right path. Not the fear of God, but upholding your own sense of honour and obeying your own conscience”

Anne is incredibly clever for her age, her thoughts on feminism are so impressive and detailed.

“What I condemn are our systems of values and the men who don’t acknowledge how great, difficult, but ultimately beautiful women’s share in society is.”

But there’s only one person I’m accountable to and that’s me PERIOD ANNE

“The eternal struggle between heart and mind”

“I know what I want, I have a goal, I have opinions, a religion and love. If only I can be myself, I’ll be satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inner strength and a great deal of courage” she’s EATING

I need to have something besides a husband and children to devote myself to

I’ve got to be calm. But this is the worst part I seen to be chasing him. Relatable.

“I don’t have much in the way of money or worldly possessions, I’m not beautiful, intelligent or clever, but I’m happy, and I intend to stay that way! I was born happy, I love people, I have trusting nature, and I’d like everyone else to be happy too”

I know less about womens bodies than fourteen year old Anne Frank

“Purity is a lot of nonsense”

“Maybe he didn’t even like you” girl stop being so relatable

Anne experiencing her first crush was annoying at first but now endearing

She is too childish and immature I can’t even emphasise this enough

Anne is in her little miss philosophical bag and I’m eating it up “beauty remains even in misfortune. If you just look for it you discover more and more happiness and regain your balance”

“A person who has courage and faith will never die in misery”

The main character is so childish how does it make rational sense to care more about the person who said something to make your fiancée jilt you or the fact that your fiancée jilted you. I think she’s struggling with disassociation. Displaced anger. All that jazz

Love is giving something away and receiving something in return

I firmly believe that nature can bring comfort to all who suffer

“My fountain pen was cremated, just as I would like to be some day” that’s dark

“She’s not a mother to me - I have to mother myself” I feel her isolation so deeply.

I can’t get over how childish both characters are and the writing style too it’s giving Wattpad and not in a good way

It’s so surprising how regularly they’re living their lives in the midst of this baking, exercising, celebrating holidays, bickering, learning languages. There’s something to be noted of the persistence of human nature in dark times.
