I was told I could bring a book. Opinions are solely my own.

My inner monologue as a southern exvangelical girl with ADHD is basically Baby Billy. I talk to my intrusive thoughts like “Yes bitch, I heard you. I’m pretending like I didn’t.”

I honestly think it’s unethical for this book not to have specific trigger warnings. This is not “be careful, there’s body horror” stuff. It’s real trauma for so many women and for someone claiming to write for women…welp.
Huge trigger warning if you have concerns re: childbirth, postpartum depression, and other serious trauma from pregnancy. Tread very carefully because it’s not upfront. This is all the content warning you get.

2nd DNF of the year. Despite loving the cover and the idea of the story, it’s soooo slooooww and apparently you have to get 70% through it before there’s a twist. No thanks. There’s a long line of people waiting on this so I’ll just return it so someone else can devour it

In Charleston, SC in like 1820, a husband and wife were convicted of highway robbery and murder and sentenced to death. However, at the time the law was that married women couldn’t be executed. SO THEY HANGED HER HUSBAND FIRST so she was no longer married and hanged her right after

I mostly stopped wishing I had celebrity hair after I saw multiple videos of people judging their wigs. Nothing in celebrity culture is real. Nothinggggg

Nationwide protests in the US never truly coalesce because most of us literally can’t participate in “don’t go to work on Friday” if we want to have health insurance and feed our kids. (This is by design)
