Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie
4.0
BOOK TOUGHTS / REVIEW DOWN BELOW! / WARNING IT CONTAINS SPOILERS OF THE BOOK ITSELF!
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ Star Rating 4 ⭐•̩̩͙˚＊☾
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS•̩̩͙˚＊☾
Chapter 1 - ||The first line of the story is what gripped me, yet I cannot say for now if this story will drive me crazy or insane. I wonder which will it be. So, reading the first chapter of the story and it seems interesting so far. We are already delving in the topic of what Ophelia sexuality is or questioning it in some degree, but in truth she already knows deep down. ||
Chapter 2 - || I’m wondering if this book is going to follow the same structure of the original tragedy of the real original story of Ophelia. The book itself has a lot of references from itself.
I also checked on goodreads to see on which genre it falls on and it says its YA but so far it does not feel very YA to me. ||
Page 28 and 29 - ||Giving my high school nostalgia when I used to come from school to home.||
|| Loving the interaction with Ophelia’s parents. ||
Chapter 5 -The fact that Ophelia loves her roses more than anyone else and believes they require her intrigues me. After all, she is the only one who is capable of giving them the right care, as opposed to others who, if that makes sense, are unable to do so.
I also can't help but think of the garden as a magnificent sight. even though it is probably little and not all that significant or spectacular.
Chapter 6 & 7 - Ah, I believe the end of the prom day will mark the conclusion of this novel. Why was that so foreboding? I abhor that. I really appreciate how Ophelia is a nice friend and encourages her friend to keep trying. Additionally, this book transitions from summer to autumn in some way. I just realized it after gazing briefly at the book's cover, which made me feel quite cosy.
Up to Chapter 11 - What's wrong with having two female leads in Hamlet’s play? That would demonstrate diversity. I find it hard to believe he said, "Oh, two female leads, the crows only want to see two girls fighting." Like it obviously demonstrates your viewpoint that you are a homophobic ass.
Up to 253 Pages - I feel so bad for Ophelia and I am also sad for Talia as well with her aunt and cousin are homophobic and simply awful.
Page 256 - I got a sneaking suspicion that Ophelia's father is aware of her sexuality and is quite supportive. I adore seeing parents who are accepting of their children's sexual orientation.
Chapter 21 - Nonoo! not Sammie the precious bean! How dare you Linds! You broke his precious heart! Also, on that note Sammie - she is not your or anyone, she is not some possession to obtain or something. Also, isn’t she the one that was like she does not want anything to do with you both after she left High School? Like I can tell when she transfers to another school is going to be one of those stereotypes of ‘the popular kid’ and all.
The more I read this the more I get saddened by Ophelia. It feels like no one is understanding her, and I got a bad feeling that all her friends in the end are going to stop talking to her which I am hoping it will not happen at all.
Chapter 23 - OML This chapter is tugging at my heart strings.
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ EXTRAS: MY TOUGHTS TROUGHOUT THE BOOK ITSELF ☽ ˚•̩̩͙
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ WHAT DID I FEEL WHEN I FINISHED THE BOOK? ☽ ˚•̩̩͙
• I enjoyed the book in some aspect, and I also feel if I was in my teen years, I would have enjoyed this book more. Yet, and over all the book was alright and it’s always nice to read different book genres and not stick to one.
• I had really loved all the characters that are within this book and often times I felt slight teary in this book. The author did really well to include everything, from inclusivity the LGBT+ and of course the different races in this book and how all are different and their viewpoints if it makes sense? As in how certain cultures and such are quite different from each other in some ways - I hope I am making sense in this.
