this was so sassy and cunty i loved it.  go girlz!

i love beavers but i had such a hard time wading through this book! it was very heavy on environmental contributions of beavers/ways to deter them and less so on the actual life of the beaver which is what i'm more interested in.

i was really fascinated throughout this entire story despite the fact that nothing much really happened. the drama felt so real and i was so enraptured with my nose all up in their business. love hanya yanagihara but this is the better version of the people in the trees i'll say it.

i fear this was so boring. i think the balance of POVs was off, and the timeline as well. certain pieces of her past should've come up a lot earlier. i also was caught off guard by the dystopian piece... idk i feel like this just had a lot of pieces that were patched together poorly and it all felt off.

sooo fascinating and very validating working in an elementary/middle school. god speed kiddos.

cute! that is all

i love lillian! she makes me feel better about how much joy i find in walking literally anywhere at anytime. i need to start making pitstops for wine and steak i think.

good content but outdated! no one tell this man what AI is up to!

i just tbh still don't really understand this book. i felt like what is said in the synopsis was focused on 20% of the time. i was confused a lot of the time, and felt like the characters and stories felt very flat (i am finding this is a common theme with east asian translated fiction and am wondering if its the fault of translation??). mixed throughout was beautiful imagery and great feminist talking points which i enjoyed, albeit laid on a bit thick towards the end.
