I am reading the third book in the sweetpea series and I really like it so far. I mean I just started it an hour ago but it feels nice. I am seeing that Rhiannon changed everything about her for freedom and it felt good to read about that and I was wondering what would be me if I did it... How would I be changed? How would I pretend to be someone I am not, which is frankly funny because my personality changes like every other week and I do so many stuff that make no sense. How could I just disappear and then just become someone else entirely? It is fascinating to think about. It is something I fantasize about a lot as well. Like disappearing and being someone else is something I literally fantasize every other day. It will not happen because I am not a criminal or someone who needs to disappear.

Going away somewhere away from everyone and just having a little blog or a diary to write stuff would feel really nice. I have so many fantasies of total isolation it is insane. I wonder if I would actually enjoy isolation.

My latest read - OK, it’s taken me a while - but, I read the last quarter of this on Kindle last night, right before bed - huge mistake. Such an interesting (and creepy) concept I was still thinking it through in my sleep! #hellcatreading #sweetpea #cjskuse #authorsofinstagram (at Brighton) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu3XQwPg0tq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=olfi3ttlcil3

Fertilising Sweetpeas

A darkly humorous story that becomes compulsive reading.

It starts with a list of people – the author is writing their diary in the 1st person – clearly doesn’t like. But by age 2 you begin to get a hint I nee friends.. I don’t want then …But to keep up my facade of normality, they’re just necessary  and her friends, on their night out together, don’t recognise her sarcasm, but we , the readers , do.

But what happens less than 5% of the way through the book is where you see the real Rhiannon appear – the sociopath hiding in plain sight. And rather shocking is Rhiannon too.

“A person with antisocial personality disorder. Probably the most widely recognized personality disorder. A sociopath is often well liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments. Though some sociopaths have become murderers, most reveal their sociopathy through less deadly and sensational means.” From the Urban Dictionary.

Rhiannon knows that she is a sociopath as she takes the test and gets 95% assurance, that yes, she has all the features.

As the book progresses you learn more and more about Rhiannon through her diary entries, she is the sweetpea of the office, with very dark behaviour as well, but she successfully masquerades as normal.

It becomes clearer as you read on that these are not metaphorical ‘kill lists, but real ones – sweetpea really wants to kill these people!

Rhiannon has been hit on the head with hammer when she was a child and received ventromedial prefrontal cortex damage, and the medical articles agree that people with such damage judge attempted harm including murder as morally permissible.
