A lot of people called out how long it is and how there, you know, that the first part of the book feels like they're often pretty repetitive. I will say that what what feels like one of the things that might actually really interest someone reading this book was that there's a lot of internal characterization happening for both sue and maud. And so like contrasting it with the parts of the book where stuff frequenty happens em the parts where it's a little more internal, felt draggy to me. But if you are really invested in these characters, that might not be a problem for you.
