Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
5.0
hahahahahahahaha
I thought I would get through this without crying but the note about tommy keeping his animal drawings even after the devastating scene at the end broke me entirely. this book is so good!!!!! so many descriptions and anecdotes stuck with me so much. obsessed with ruth and kathy’s relationship and how kathy is just as cruel as her but doesn’t seem to see it that way, which, for a book about the nature of humanity, is so good. these characters are being judged by how beautiful their art is and how good their literary analysis is, but being human is also being spiteful and mean and fighting with your best friend.
I’m not sure kathy loved tommy as much as she loved ruth. the Norfolk stuff killed me. obsessed with how memory is portrayed. I’ve never felt more rage than when miss emily time limits tommy and ruth at the end even before telling them something horrifically devastating because she has a cabinet to attend to. this book has wrecked me. 100000/10.
