I have mixed feelings about this, it’s weird because it’s the first time I feel like this after reading a book. I kinda hated it but at the same time I didn’t, I think the main flaw is that it was written by a man 😭😭 because most parts were good but then he said stuff about women in general and ??? I know this was written in 1943 but still.
The thing is it also made me feel sad and angry :( I related to some things but ahhhh !!! it’s weird. I feel like this is like if in normal people the characters actually spoke to eachother about their feelings?? but I don’t say it as a compliment. I really think that Reif is an unidimensional character and it’s sad and frustrating that he never did anything to make his life any better !!! and Maria felt like a manic pixie girl dream so,,, I wouldn’t recommend it but at least it was lowkey interesting.
