I remember liking this book, so I thought I'd give it a go for assorted reasons including nostalgia. I did read one review so far that mentioned the Labyrinth parallels and tbh I DEFINITELY get it.

I don't mind the characters yet, though, but I know they tap dance on some of y'all's last raw nerves.

This is not nearly as fun the second time around. Probably because last time I didn't hear half of it bc I played it in the background at work.

But at least there's no Nazi jokes.

a joke about Nazis in frankly the most boring chapter of the book so far

also damn, at least Jane Austen knew to get to a point of some kind in the first couple of (very brief, actually) chapters

We spent all that time hearing about all the wealth and extravagance and the narrator was just "yeah that's all great but the MC loved the picnics most".

So wtf was the preceding 47 pages?

Latha thinks Mr. Goldman is gentlemanly and polite. I think he's kind of a perv...

My predictions about the ending of the novel aside, so far this is immensely readable.

Sometimes I'm a vibes girlie and I was told the Jane Austen vibes would be on point (I even recognize similarities in plot summary to Mansfield Park).

Skipped the prologue. While I appreciate a good rich people stunt, there are certain other elements that maybe I'm just not in the right headspace to handle. Like the racism. All I could hear was Big Joel commenting about how the film version implied that the Youngs' wealth could level the playing field and that... solved racism somehow. Racism still exists, lots of people can't just... buy their way out of it.

I paused in the middle of a sentence and realized I didn't care enough to continue. I know I've been struggling a bit these past few chapters, but I think I'm gonna throw in the towel.

I just cringed so hard my soul left my body, so I think that's a good place to call it for tonight.

I don't know if I'm gaining any specific insight into the publishing world, but I AM enjoying the FUCK out of this train wreck.

Maybe that's the real appeal of this book, watching a disaster.

I initially suspected June was going to accuse Athena of stealing a boyfriend but now I'm further into the account and knowing Athena's habits around collecting the stories of war vets etc. for later use, my stomach is sinking a little.

I've maintained since like, the second description of Athena's gorgeousness and boobs that most of this sturm und drung would have been avoided if, instead of a drunk pancake eating contest, they just boned.

I love how Kuang can't resist heaping candy on her self-insert Athena via June's narrative voice. June sounds gay as FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
