nooooo i’m so sad that this is still on hiatus :( im not sure if it’s true that the author is in recovery and is wanting to continue the series but i really hope so

i loved nana in the beginning and it did start to drag a little bit because i didn’t agree with a lot of the characters’ decisions but this series will now always hold a special place in my heart <3

i’m happy i at least have the anime for now

this volume was depressing but more because of the characters’ reactions

mentally ill women and their cats; a story

this was so wholesome and such a cute, light & easy read. a story about different women and their cats that somehow still managed to connect to eachother and flow. mid reading, my cat jumped on my arm and started licking me & it makes me wonder what he’s thinking about

what a wholesome little story, and it made me feel very sentimental about life, family and our world.

after finishing this book, i just sobbed into it because i was just so overwhelmed with how devastating it was. it was so hard to put down, even though it was really hard to read because of how graphic it was but wow wow wow i’m in awe.

i love how much emphasis was on this NOT being a love story and being in the mind of someone who was groomed and traumatized was just so so fucking sad but really impactful and important

everything about this was so well done, i will be recommending this to everyone now

“i just really need it to be a love story” - wow wow wow wow

I loved this. so much. it was everything i could ever ask for in a book about a depressed middle aged woman. it made me laugh and honestly cry at times because I just felt so much for martha. I can’t relate to the extent of her self sabotaging but there are days where I wish I could just ruin my life because it’s easier than doing anything else.

I wish i had more to say, i feel like there is so much more to say but nothing is coming out how I want it to right now. for now, like ava said, i will regret not having annotated this. maybe it will call for a re read in the future
