3 tiny things;
Gives me a sense of achievement: Baking.
Brings me joy: Reading.
Relaxes me: Tea. Copious amounts.

P.s. I know my aesthetic Instagram-appropriate positioning leaves a lot to be desired.

I read this last week, sat on my thoughts for a while, wrote some words, forgot to save it, cursed the world.

I’ve always been kind of against reading books about abuse, I remember reading A Child Called It when I was in high school and being appalled by the amount of people who said they loved reading books like that. I don’t find much enjoyment from books that are too harrowing so I tend to steer clear, but I trust @english_prose recommendations and thought I’d give this one a go.

My Dark Vanessa was very easily absorbed and is too complicated to write a review on Instagram, it deserves and essay really and I’m too lazy for that. As 30 year old woman (or almost 30) I was able to slip into Vanessa’s present day self just as well as I could as her 15 year old self. It’s frightening how well I understood how easy it would have been to be flattered by Strane’s attention, his words.

This book is uncomfortable, upsetting and maddening for all the right reasons. The author delves into hideous detail and explores the long term effects that Vanessa’s relationship with her teacher had on her. She’s quite unlikeable, which feels wrong to say, though none of the characters are particularly ‘nice’.

I’d recommend, if you can stomach it.

I like these photo dumps that people seem to be doing. Have one while I think of how to sum up my thoughts on My Dark Vanessa.

Made myself a picnic, pretended I was in Greece for an hour. Was nice! (The book wasn’t great at getting me in that ‘summer holiday’ mindset though).
