it took me a few chapters to really get invested, but oh boy did i get invested. mary was not a likable character, but then these moments where you remember she’s just 15/16 would hit SO hard and make me so sad for what i knew was coming. i’m left feeling very similarly to the way i did upon finishing the film parasite. gutted and hopeless and angry at the way society puts people in circumstances that encourage them to be cruel.
