i liked the cat part<3 + francis’ letter broke me
a ‘brain dump’ kinda review(?)
i did like the twins at first but after the you-know-what incident i was disturbed. i still feel bad for Charles after everything though. he had it the worst out of all of them. and i cant for the life of me make myself like Henry & honestly i was very happy when i found out what he did in the end.
this book was satire. i realized that when i thought back on some stuff that happened. they were all so pretentious & through richards lens everything they do was romanticized. julian fed into that as well. they were outcasts who were so detached from society & common morals.
also my entire body boiled with anger when i read the part where richard realized that henry initially wanted to frame him, and was so close to doing so if the snow hadn’t melted in time. i read somewhere on tumblr bout how henry wanted richard to write how much of the mushroom it’d take to kill bunny so he had evidence to frame richard. that made me audibly gasp i-
francis was honestly the only person i could like. i rooted for him since the beginning & i was so glad i did. i thought bout whether francis felt bad after killing bunny. i guess he did when bunny’s dad cried but im not sure.
the part where richard was shot was insane. no one paid attention to him like wtf.
people seem to rlly like camilla but i cant stand her sometimes. because it’s richard’s narrative he romanticizes everything bout her, everything but her personality so im really curious bout her. but still idk why i don’t like her that much. she showed no remorse & she loved henry (huge red flag lmao). honestly i dont know much bout her, so i cant judge. also, since henry and camilla were in love, camilla would do anything henry told her to. and that makes me mad because why tf does everyone do what henry tells them. idk… cant judge camilla still.
the twin thing… you know what im talking bout is so disturbing honestly. it’s so sad bc they lost their parents and they had to stick together so that happened… they were both jealous of each other as well. im glad she ended up w henry but i cant stand henry ugh. and charles story is so sad… ig theyre all living in their hells according to bunny.
i wish richard ended up with francis. like the way he describes francis all the time is… it’s cute really. like before they kissed and after. he was attracted to francis i could tell. and i love francis and richards dynamic sm. they way francis would always ask richard whether he was mad after francis jokingly said something outrageous lmao.
this post is what im gonna use to continue my rants/random thoughts that pop up whenever i think about TSH<3
