tpixie @Cuilin Yes! The UN would be fascinating 🧐 6d
Bookwormjillk I also wouldn‘t mind a tour. Or a sandwich actually. 6d
mcctrish I am curious about the baby. And I‘d love for someone to make me a sandwich 6d
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish the first time she mentioned the baby, my mind went into so many dark places 🤣 pretty sure I jumped to major conclusions though 6d
mcctrish Oh me too. I thought she‘d had a baby and he blew her off or he‘s impregnated someone or fainted at the sight of blood or vaginas 6d
willaful We are getting to the *one* thing I remember from this book when I read it at 12ish. At the time, I thought I was scarred for life!

Honestly, at this point I've prepared to believe Buddy didn't do a blessed thing wrong, because Esther is such a Diva, but we shall see.

Bookwormjillk @willaful Buddy delivered a bay with one hand and made her a sandwich with the other and he is THE WORST. His name isn't even interesting. 6d
Clare-Dragonfly I initially thought he had impregnated and abandoned another woman. But now I think the baby thing is probably a med school thing and it‘s totally banal. I am very much prepared to believe Buddy didn‘t do a blessed thing wrong @willaful 😂 6d
Clare-Dragonfly I also thought all this “everyone thinks Buddy and I are getting married” was because they grew up together and their parents are friends, and that Esther didn‘t find him appealing at all, but she had a huge crush on him! Plath is certainly twisting my expectations. 6d
CogsOfEncouragement What killed me was the casual: Of course, our mothers were good friends. They had gone to school together and then both married their professors… 6d
BarkingMadRead @CogsOfEncouragement right?!? That‘s so normal?! 6d
Andrea313 @CogsOfEncouragement YES! Never ceases to make me do a double take! 6d
ElizaMarie Also tipping culture is so difficult to understand! I get this! But yeah, poor Buddy with his boring name! 5d
