- This book is totally up my alley! Lyrical, atmospheric writing and very character driven.
- Loved the way it describes past and present events that alludes to this undercurrent of emptiness, disappointment and a haunting loss of something unrealised despite the "perfect" facade.
- Not top tier fav book just yet but getting real close!

Revolutionary Road showcases interesting thoughts on gender, toxic relationships, monogamous marriages, bodily autonomy, and the freedom to chase dreams. Part of the act seems the way it is written from a male gaze but somehow still manages to express a critique towards the very same and how patriarcal structures damage not just the lives of women, but also clearly hinders men from achieving true happiness in their relationships and in themselves as individuals. Perhaps this a feminist reading of 2023, but I think it was either way an interesting one.
One thing is sure: this tragedy makes you fear the conformity of surburban life and choosing to lean into the heteronormative roles that society has given you. Playing along without thinking twice carries its consequences.
