oh i didn’t think it was badly written!! i think the vapidity of the characters was kind of the point like they were supposed to be pretentious and unfeeling i guess. her other book is really terrible though so maybe i should take another look at it

ok i didn't think it was poorly written in so much as it just wasn't well written. like i wouldn't bother to read it again for the prose. yeah that's what i thought but i didn't find their vapidity meaningful in anyway. i don't really know i am so bemused by my feelings towards it!!

omg i love it one of my favorite books!!! it’s kind of moody and weird though i would understand if someone didn’t like it it just really appealed to me i think

I couldn’t really think about anything for about a week afterwards but I did love it, it left such an impression on me (mrs cheyne loves it)

hmm yeah this was kind of how i thought i would feel before i read it. i mean i found it compelling and i read it really quickly but i thought it was quite poorly written, lots of the sex/drugs were really gratuitous and all the characters were just boring. not even in an interesting meaningful boring but just dull as fuck. like i thought julian was the only person who had depth to his boringness

the fact that mrs cheyne liked it makes me think i may have missed something tho i might talk to her about it. although i did hear mr deane liked it which put me off it further tbh

PATRIARCHAL connotation too

YES YES YES

i just keep wondering why we’re talking about straight people wanting to get civil partnerships? like, this isn’t about straight people? they’re not the ones who are discriminated against.

because at the end of the day the people who run our country are flawed as fuck and that's a shame but giving straight people civil partnerships is hardly a concession and if it helps placate some of the doubters then i'm all for it. 

plus civil partnerships are a totally valid thing in my opinion and you can't preach about ending discrimination to bring about equality and then not help bring about equality EVEN if that involves equalising a group of people who aren't discriminated against
