just finished opal plumstead for the first time
There is a pit in my chest. I didn’t see the ending coming until Opal and Morgan’s little seaside picnic but even so it hurt sm when I finally read it. I felt like their romance was very rushed and one dimensional but still, I don’t know why it hit me so hard. I think her father’s conclusion was even worse somehow, when they show us how he’s lost the ability to write lit devastated me. I sympathised with him inspite of the decision he took.
I was truly so happy things were turning around for Opal. The ending was so insanely bleak.
Also her mother has to be one of the worst from Jacky’s books 😭 She really seemed to hate Opal it was crazy.
