and he knew it wasn't going to be okay, and he told me / it wasn't going to be okay. / and he wouldn't kiss me, but he covered my body with his body / and held me down until I promised not to run back out into the street again.

“Of all the people I knew well at Bennington, I knew least about her. She was very put-together, very controlled. One year at the end of term, a bunch of us had been up all night for days; I remember she calmed us all down by reading aloud from P. G. Wodehouse. And Donna was always dressed. She wore what was appropriate for the hour of the day. She dressed for dinner. She liked well-tailored boys’ suits. If you went to her room at four A.M.—she was an insomniac—you’d find her sitting at her desk, smoking a cigarette, wearing a perfectly pressed white shirt buttoned to the top, collar studs, trousers with a knife crease.”

theo decker is like "i will only pursue romantic relationships that are doomed to fail. the only two women i love are shallow projections of my own trauma, and cannot love me back. i will self-sabotage by entering loveless relationships with emotionally distant women. the last time i felt true love for another person was with my childhood best friend. i am a heterosexual."

the thing about the goldfinch is the source material is so good and So Much that fanfics rarely measure up. like i read my share of goldfinch fic back in the day and even wrote a couple but none of it was even close because if you wanna write like donna tartt first you have to cloak everything in 5 layers of description and repression and most fic authors wanna get right to the kissing part

kitsey did nothing wrong. yeah she might’ve cheated on theo but he would’ve fucked tom cable too if he could get over himself
