not as disturbing as people make it out to be, i thought it was fun!! it definitely got more interesting in the last like 100 pages, but overall i liked it.
i love looking at all the different theories and interpretations, but i personally don’t think she’s schizophrenic & in a mental hospital because that feels lame to me, like what a boring twist that would be.
also idc if jonah isn’t actually real he’s still everything to me and the best character <3
and also max <3 i love a good ol’ stag!! the story definitely picked up when he was introduced.
and at the end of the day, Samantha is just like me because i, too, would create people out of loneliness and then fall in love with them and also have them do what i’m too afraid to do. really, it’s self love. and she’s gay.
i really like the whole aspect of Samantha taking things too far— forgetting that the things they made weren’t real/were perhaps their imagination & what it means to get lost in your imagination— the janitor telling her, “the real world lady, it’s out there. you’ll have to go back sometime.” which could point to the idea that she lives too far inside of her own imagination/mind. also paired with her saying that she lies because it ‘makes the story better’ and the whole ‘nothing happened, but didnt something happen?’ with the Lion. idk there’s a lot to think about and one day i will go back & reread, and annotate all the things I would’ve missed the first time around.
