Samantha Harvey’s orbital is a series of meditations about the beauty of space the planet in our own existence. It is a very slow read, but it is truly written in a very impactful way. this book was hard for me to finish because of it slow pace, but I think it was still worth the read.

I finished this book really quickly because it had me so engaged, but I’ll be honest the actual ending of the book was just so unsatisfying. Hated Ryujis character and it’s obvious why. Why include apart about him lying about his actions? I don’t understand the purpose of his background. It was a fun read, i loved the unfolding of the actual origins of the tape

i understand certain aspects of this book aren’t for everyone, Esther, as a main character is incredibly whiny and judgmental, but I think there’s some historical context is important to think about in retrospect to what she wanted out of life and how it felt inaccessible to her (not talking about her racism in the story). Esther experienced a lot of similar things I did when I started to come to the end of college that made me feel purposeless, and the story in that aspect made me feel seen. she doesn’t wanna get married. She doesn’t wanna have children and in that era that’s basically all women were for. I think she continuously battles with that. I genuinely believe that things only got as bad as they did because of the fact she experienced that electro shock therapy. it changed her fundamentally as a person it muted her, subdued her and that was her greatest battle. she went to only two appointments with psychotherapist, and he immediately recommended shock treatment. because it’s so odd and uncomfortable that a woman might feel an emotion other than nothing.
I think the best part of this book is probably the final chapter. It felt so impactful for me. I also feel so sad for Sylvia Plath just knowing that this book feels like a diary. It feels like a genuine reflection of herself, her life events, and the things she experienced.

needed something fun and sweet between some of the darker lit i’ve been reading, couldn’t help but compare the book and the movie since i watched the movie recently. this is a children’s classic and i love the idea of matilda being a form of miss honey inner child and helping her overcome. solid lil book about overcoming abusive situations 💘

a story about a broken woman who embodies a misogynist like mentality towards men, she is terrible, gritty, nasty, and down right TERRIFYING. this book is so interesting, i want to look away but i cant, i have to watch the train wreck.
