Ch 2: I have a great pic of a pram with a creepy doll in it, but Litsy won‘t let me add it 🤣 #anyway #thesearesomeseriouslywellasjustedkids #thegrownupsnotsomuch #ihopethisisntboring #thedescriptionsarestunning #thevillagekidsarenightmares #theauntsoundsdelightful #howdidthecupbreakthough #andwhyaretheysopoor #thesearethequestionsihave #staytuned #hashtagbrigade

eeclayton I've been enjoying the descriptions so far, but I wouldn't mind if things started happening sooner rather than later. 2w

Ruthiella I‘m enjoying this look at a lost time and place, but taking it with a grain of salt regarding things like children grew up without neuroses because they played outside in all weathers etc. 2w

TheAromaofBooks Yes, this is interesting but... not very story-ish as of yet 😂 2w

Bookwormjillk I hope this isn‘t boring too. I was getting invested in Edward and what‘s her name today but then it said we‘re not going to talk about them any more. PS I can see the pram in the preview but not the post. (edited) 2w

mcctrish @eeclayton it‘s pretty wordy for not much happening @TheAromaofBooks it‘s pretty much just a written accounting of a day in the life @Ruthiella kind of makes you think the author time travelled back from our current phone raised generation to make sweeping generalities 2w

Bklover @Ruthiella Yes! And also that being “soundly spanked” made them not repeat the behavior as opposed to “laying up complexes” that will spoil their later lives. 🙄. I‘m starting to think that there may not be much plot here. @TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish @eeclayton 2w

willaful All valid complaints but I am actually enjoying it. I hope we do get some story soon though.

I kind of feel the author is a little dishonest? She's writing like it's perfectly fine that the two intellectually curious kids get no encouragement or help but I don't believe it left no scars. And I don't believe there weren't any other “different“ kids who had a hard time with their way of life, either. 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm caught up! Although I did skip over Chapter 1 pig killing. 2w

julieclair I keep falling asleep as I read. I think this might be boring. Hoping for a plot to emerge soon. 2w

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk It seems odd that we wouldn‘t hear more about Laura; she‘s the main character in the TV show. 🫤 2w
