I have so much to say abt this but I’m still recovering from the last 20%. Idk if I’ve ever read such a strong, incredible ending to a book. Sobbing while cooking my lunch.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
I’ve wanted to read this book for so so long, and I do still want to read it, but I started it 36 days ago and have only managed to make it 30% of the way through, so I think it’s time for me to call it, for now at least. Idk, I think my ability to absorb and enjoy dense academic texts wavers the longer I’m away from university.
