>!I think the ending is being misunderstood as “there is no truth” when the book actually gives us the truth pretty clearly.!<

>!The real point, in my opinion, is that Josie literally cannot live with reality. Every time reality becomes unbearable, she reshapes it into something else. !<

>!I personally don’t believe Roxy killed Brooke. I think Josie did, and then psychologically transferred that guilt onto Roxy because accepting the real truth would destroy her completely. !<

>!And honestly, that’s what makes the book so disturbing. Josie isn’t a cartoon villain or mastermind. She’s someone so detached from reality, so addicted to self-created narratives, that even she may partly believe her own lies.!<

>!But one thing I really did NOT like was how Walter’s behavior was framed toward the end. The whole “a 16-year-old manipulated him” angle genuinely bothered me. I’m sorry, but are we serious? He was the adult. Whatever manipulation or emotional complexity existed, that does not erase the responsibility and power imbalance there.!<

>!Also, screw Lisa Jewell for emotionally ruining me with this book!!<

I’ve always loved the look of bindis with kurtis/traditional outfits, but whenever I wear one it somehow looks off on me instead of looking natural/elegant.

I think part of it is that I have pretty unconventional/non-classical Indian facial features, so maybe the typical round red bindi just clashes with my face?

Has anyone else felt this way? Did you find certain bindi shapes, colors, sizes or placements that worked better for your features?

I really WANT to make the look work because I love traditional styling.
