The timeline was a bit hard to follow at times, but has some of my favorite dialog I have ever read honestly. Maybe I'm a weirdo for that.

Honestly, I was expecting something a little different from this book, but given that I’ve seen the movie adaptation, I’m not sure why.
I was a bit bored by this and so decided to pick up a different book instead.

It would be Carol, in a thousand cities, a thousand houses, in foreign lands where they would go together, in heaven and in hell.

took me a while to get into this book. i really wanted to finish it before the new year, so i just kept reading where i might have marked it as dnf. i think it is really reflective of the time period it was written in and has period appropriate homophobia and angst, and it is probably very important to the lesbian literature canon, but it was sad and i didnt like carol or the age gap and it made me sad. but it also made me think and it made me so glad to live in a world where i can love another woman freely and without shame. i like the potential for a reunion/happy ending.
