You could have locked me in a padded cell for twenty years and I would never have concocted anything close to that whackadoo Marge plot twist 💀

Sometimes a girlboss has to put herself in danger and make questionable decisions. But it's alright because it's HER choice. Rhysand would be so proud

I’m not a writer but wouldn’t it have been exponentially better if Maddie had gone missing instead?? Then, when they’re on the roadtrip and Josh starts interrogating Charlie, she begins to believe that he may be the only one that can lead to her body. Feeling guilty about being the cause of her best friend going missing, Charlie reasons that she must get the truth out of him, even if it gets her killed. That gives Charlie a REASON to keep going with him instead of FEMINISM???

Also, the woman that Stockholm Syndrome was based off has come forward and said she never experienced that — she was trying to reason with her captor as a survival plan and the media warped it and painted her as a smitten girl. It’s pure misogyny.

@sodiumchloride3040 1 year ago

wdym it took this woman getting kidnapped by a serial killer to realize misogyny is a real issue ??? 😭

@liv5823 1 year ago

this felt like the author simultaneously mansplaining misogyny to me whilst using a protagonist so cartoonish only a misogynistic man could come up with it

"Sometimes you can't simultaneously be smart, brave and careful. Sometimes you need to choose one." and she choose none of the above

the twist with Marge had me like “She’s bald! She’s bald and she’s torturing people who have hair!”

the way she randomly quotes movies in the hospital is SENDING ME. 😭 if she quoted spongebob episodes instead of movies, i think the book would be redeemed. imagine instead she sees someone whose gown isn't fully covering themselves and she turns to the nurse and goes

"ripped pants" 1999, featuring sandy and larry. you gotta see it. it's a classic.

@whimizera 1 year ago

I will give the book this, I couldn't predict for a second what was going to happen because none of the characters acted like real human beings

@SorasShadow1 1 year ago

man really gave his character manic pixie dream girl schizophrenia so the plot could work lmfao

@cs39291 1 year ago

I would’ve preferred he just be bold and give her schizophrenia, the “no it’s actually a movie in my mind and everyone else just doesn’t get it” is the biggest cope of all time 😭

"I dont trust myself so I need to trust Josh, aka the most creepy and weird dude I had the disgrace of knowing" WHAT IS GOING ONNNNN

@m0sssssssssssssssssssss 1 year ago (edited)

So her parents death in a car accident leads her to avoid driving, but her best friend being brutally murdered in the past TWO MONTHS doesn't lead her to avoid strangers???

Also you did the lord's work by reading this for us. Those excerpts were excruciating

@fabiana9478 1 year ago

not running away from a potential serial killer because you want to learn more about the danger that women face is so freaking crazy. I refuse to believe that a woman is JUST discovering misogyny because of this issue...

“Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison for chosen specifically to kill Kuzco. Kuzco’s poison. That poison?”

@miyuu1317 1 year ago (edited)

Probably the most infuriating example of this being written by some dude: The protagonist only becomes aware of the dangers women face when she's in college... Because she has to take self defense classes and is given pepper spray?????

Hating on the Sound of Music while praising Hickcocks and action directors gives me such pickme vibes. Its a classic, beautifully shot and choreographed, if she as a film buff has NOTHING to say about that musical it says more about her than the Sound of Music honestly.
