goes into my "insdane women" folder right this second! i feel like this would have shocked everyone back then, would make them quiver in their stylish little pants if you will (idek what they were wearing back then, lmao). kinda chilling, loved it!

perfectly autumn-y. i would love to read this as a 300 - 400+ pages book. also how did I not see the ending coming? it was dark but pretty cool imo.
