I finished this book whilst listening to Peter by Taylor Swift and the idea of never reuniting with not only the person you loved, but never feeling again that level of love itself is heartbreaking. This is why my teacher said crime is just a sub genre of tragedy really. loml is playing now it’s so criminal.
Also, I think it’s so interesting that my willingness to forgive Briony came from initially believing the happy ending she gave us. But ultimately what makes me hate her is that her giving them a happy ending isn’t her atoning, but her cowardice to truly admit that despite her wanting to make amends, she couldn’t and they would’ve suffered no matter what. The damage she did was so great there was no going back from the moment she uttered those words to Leon that night. It was always going to end this way.

I felt like an English major again as I tried to predict the trajectory of the story using the many beautiful uses of literary devices throughout.
I highly recommend. it's more slow paced than medium paced to me but in a good way I think.
