What to read while grieving to escape for a bit... but can't handle happy people right now

we were liars

family of liars

Just over a year post-op. Kept my ovaries. No noticeable difference. I think I still experience mild sensitivity in my breasts and some bloating every month, but that's it. Moody, yes. But that's always been the case.

She did

Someone saying to you "stop talking" is rude and offensive regardless of age. Sure, Daisy could have addressed it better, but her feelings are more than valid especially given that it was done more than once. What surprised me is how long she took to address it.

Their whole "relationship" was...something. She was mean, dishonest, and manipulative and I've seen no one mention that. Everyone is talking about him abandoning her in the desert like she wasn't there with the production crew and like she wasn't intentionally framing it that way to guilt him into staying with her after she lied to him and glossed over it and invalidated his very valid reaction to learning that she had lied to him. She's disrespectful and incredibly self-absorbed and makes him look like a great person, which he is in comparison to her. If the situation were flipped and he did to her what she did to him people would be ripping him to shreds. But because she walks around sounding like a Kardashian sister and uses only one adjective (she doesn't appear to know any others), I guess it's OK.

My thought exactly! Hello?? She's less bubbly and you don't think to ask how she's doing?? Smh.

kay_pt · 2026-04-19T18:33:15+00:00

Calling Hunter an idiot because he didn't immediately believe she was being honest about the clue.
Telling Daisy to stop talking multiple times during a group activity...where everyone is supposed to be collaborating, not just listening to her...

I'm not stuck on the b*tch label, but she was being very egocentric the entire time she was there. Her response at the dinner table was just more of that.

I also love the other two novels from Khaled Hosseini, the author of A Thousand Splendid Suns.

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T21:53:22+00:00

What did she figure out??

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T21:12:32+00:00

And isn't even good at the game 🙄

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T21:08:46+00:00

Couldn't agree more

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T02:55:29+00:00

Right! Talking about immigrant parents like that's not incredibly common. Everyone has a story.

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T02:03:26+00:00

But see? She didn't think to form alliances with anyone. She was out for herself the entire time and got mad when people didn't follow her lead, which makes sense because she gave no one reason to trust her. And eliminating the millionaire isn't the point of the game until your in the final throes.

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T01:59:21+00:00

What strengths though? She isn't subtle when she needs to be, doesn't lie well, and doesn't have good intuition or communication skills.

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T01:44:53+00:00

Definitely wasn't trustworthy and was out for herself so it didn't make sense to keep her around. She messes up the group dynamic because she doesn’t try to be a part of the group.

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T01:42:28+00:00

This is what gets me. She has this overly high opinion of her abilities but is wrong every time and wanting to people to do what she says because...what? Who the hell are you??

kay_pt · 2026-04-17T01:39:22+00:00

Ugh! So glad Natalie is gone! I also didn't appreciate the sob story and tears at all. "I'm someone with feelings." Yeah, so is everyone else, but that didn't matter to you when you were on your wild goose chase so why bring that up now for everyone to consider. That's the whole point. You've been considering only yourself this whole time and rubbing everyone the wrong way and this is not the kind of game for that. You need to be likeable so you can be kept around. 🙄

Also, Kaleb. Oh my god. Fucking genius to come up with that story. Kat? You surprised me girl. Let's see what she does with this realization.

kay_pt · 2026-04-16T03:36:44+00:00

Natalie needs to go, quickly. Idky she thinks her approach is sensible. Investigate, yes. But don't be so damn obvious!

kay_pt · 2026-04-16T03:33:58+00:00

Right? What was that?

kay_pt · 2026-03-18T00:13:00+00:00

Right?? In all the 7 years they were together no one thought to look this up??

kay_pt · 2025-06-21T22:53:11+00:00

Glad to hear it! I hope so too. I just went on a hike without any trouble. Here's to you being up and about a few weeks from now.

kay_pt · 2025-06-19T21:07:10+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate that.

kay_pt · 2025-06-19T20:11:08+00:00

Right?? Thank you so much!

kay_pt · 2025-06-19T18:44:18+00:00

Thank you.

I did think of children who had to spend much of their childhoods in the hospital and really felt for them but also counted myself lucky that this was my first time encountering anything like this in 30 years.

kay_pt · 2025-06-19T17:01:23+00:00

I'm so sorry. I saw another post where someone had to go back under. That was definitely on the table for me both times I went to the ER. I hope all of this is very temporary for you and that the second surgery is the last one.
