A Passage to India by E.M. Forster

3.0

Read for class. My thoughts are mixed. I hate how Forester talks about women so deeply, but I also found some of his prose rather beautiful. It's just all in all a book I wouldn't recommend but I didn't completely hate it

I need Kell so bad. Also I didn't find Lila has annoying as some people did; I think she definitely had her "I'm not like other girls" moments which weren't great, but didn't ruin her character for me. She cares deeply even if that's a hard thing for her to admit.

WAS IT REALLY CASUAL ADAM?!?!?!

You promised to keep me safe. Who are we to you, nothing? If you let him die that is not keeping me safe. If they die, I die too.

In general just so so so so so good my fav out of the series so far!! I appreciate the development of Blue and Ronan's relationship as well.  

They had run.
For him.

ALSO THE TWIST AT THE END HAD ME GAGGED.
And I cried a lot.... I just hold these characters so dear to my heart

I didn't know if I'd be an Emily Henry girly but by god I am. I need Miles biblically, and me and Daphne are so similar. I need to be a librarian in northern Michigan
