Loved

I am now up to chapter four and I am so thrilled to say that I am really loving the story. I am fascinated by the topics that Mary Shelley is exploring like family dynamics and psychology and grief and death and science and nature and possession and there's so much there's so much to think about that this book brings to your mind and this is such a thoughtful and thought-provoking idea and I am just continuing to be baffled by it
