yea so i totally thought this was gonna be a fun little weird girl litfic but now i'm just laying in bed sobbing at 1am 🥲
I remember the words of a physicist: Anything that can happen will happen. What we resist the most is eventually what must befall us.
it took a bit to get into the writing, but after the 50% mark i genuinely could not put this book down. reading Ripe felt like slowly getting lost in a black hole, tugged by the ever-increasing dread and loneliness surrounding our main character.
Cassie's depression being displayed as a black hole that just does not go away was such a brilliant metaphor for how depression can linger; even in her few joyful moments, the black hole (however small) is still present in her view, as if waiting for the chance to grow again.
the progression, the increasing hardships, the SADNESS was all just so much to bear but so REAL in it's depiction,,, 🫂 having a satirical take on silicon valley as the sub-plot was a much needed gift when the weight of the book became too much.
