i hate that i dont know how to feel about this book
i picked this book up two years ago and left it bc of the thing between john and franny. but i thought the story was compelling, and something reminded me of it again so i picked it up.
i trudged through it for two weeks bc i had to finish it, and okay. did i have fun reading it? kind of. did i also think it went on forever sometimes and wished i was reading something else? also yes.
incest aside, i found the family dynamics and settings interesting. it was also... dense.
