a beautiful book about first real love + the endurance of it through change. patricia highsmith was a terrible racist but this book is solid + very tenderly written
Content Warnings
Moderate: Stalking
Minor: Homophobia, Lesbophobia
the stalking is in no way violent, there is a PI hired to follow the main characters
the main conflict in the later part of the book is homo/lesbophobia. there's no physical violence or slurs as a result thought it does negatively affect the lives and it is mentioned that it's because of the characters sexualities

An amazing depiction of the classic lesbian pulp novel. A ingenue. A villainous old woman leading her astray from her male love interest - with the promise of mother and nurturing. A male love interest offering the perfect life - his large, loving family, safety and home. Oh the rage I felt.
Oh, Therese - how we can all see ourselves in you. The naïve young woman refusing to acknowledge your lack of experience. Your drive to become a successful set designer. Introvert yet drawn to strong personalities.
Richard is every man a lesbian has dated - convinced he can be better than any woman, destructive and narcissist.
Carol - offering care, understanding, stability and chaos.

the price of salt, or carol, or the world’s most judgmental woman realizes she is gay
aaa m'ha agradat molt l'únic és q he tardat bastant a llegir-lo /// la història està súper bé i molt entretinguda vull veure la peli que en van fer. si que és veritat que el llibre es fa una mica llarg, per això no li poso les cinc estrelles. en general però <33
when we talk about queer classics, this one-for me- just does something. its in a field of its own, in my opinion.
