Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
wow, what a bummer
Ive been hearing about this book for at least 10 years, waiting for the time to finally read it. and now i just can't seem to get into it. 

I appreciate the representation of the boring unremarkable underwhelming dissaponted and hollow adulthood every former gifted child feels inevitably stuck to. that was relatable. and the sense of loneliness of it all was sort of egotistically comforting because as much as life does feel painfully depressing sometimes, i know i wont feel alone in my adulthood.

but yeah, i wasn't really that invested and i wasn't connecting with her pov.

The Love Story of an Infinite Lifetime in all Membranes of the Universe
the best tropes wouldn’t make it justice in the way a single sentence of the actual book does, so ill simply leave it there. wow. 

ps.: rip Emily Dickinson, you would have loved This is How you Lose the Time War

its so dense in the sense that in EVERY page there is a sentence or a thought or a representation of something real that, in my case, speakes to my situation and my field. 

even if its a slow books to get through (which i normally dont like) this one is like something i could have written and that matches very precisely and honestly with my own life, so its special

started cool and then i sort of became less interested in it
its a shame because everyone said the characters were extremely gripping but i ended the book rushing a bit through it. idk.
