dark sad tense

Como explicar todo el enojo que siento en estos momentos?

Didn't read this when I was young, so thought I'd see what all the fuss was about. I wish I hadn't. Dreadful on any measure.

Omg why did everyone read this when they were a kid? I read this when I was about twelve, as so did everyone else on this site. I loved Nicole Dollanganger's music when I was that age and I wanted to read the stories that she based her songs off of... my parents should have been monitoring what I was reading AND listening to! I mean, it's nothing extremely gruesome or pornographic, but I really did not grasp a lot of the concepts here because--well, I was twelve. I really do not remember much of this book... I remember what everyone else remembers.

Nunca en un millón de años esperaría que este libro increíblemente turbio me iba a entretener tanto, la pasé genial, pronto seguiré con el segundo. Increíble.

I’M FREE !! WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY FUCKING LIFE !!!

was shocked to go into the reviews and see so many people excusing rape and incest ?? go get every kind of evaluation there is and stay far away from public spaces you fucking WEIRDOS.

i literally only gave this two stars because it managed to keep my attention even though the actual contents were sick as all hell. the entire situation was so upsetting and the things they had to do ?? although toward the end i felt close to no remorse for chris he was actually sick in the head and i truly wouldn’t have blinked twice if he decided to jump off the attic roof or anything similar.

thinking about how i ONLY read this bc i’ve been wanting to reread monday isn’t coming and it’s sparsely mentioned in a way that made me so curious i needed to know the context. now im just sick to my stomach.

Insisto, cada libro tiene su momento para leerse, y este era el momento de leer este libro.

Maravillosamente desgarrador.

"Querría que la noche acabase,
y que comenzase el día,
querría ver llover o nevar,
o que soplasen los vientos,
o que la hierva creciera,
querría que fuese ayer,
tener juegos que jugar..."

De esos libros que te encariñas con los personajes, que las emociones las percibes a flor de piel, que la frustración y la alegría son mas que sensaciones.
De esos libros que te atrapan y no te sueltan, te destrozan y te reparan, te dejan y te acompañan.

De esos libros existe este, y siempre me acompañará.
