I love Gregor he's literally me 🎀

This book was honestly kinda depressing. If my brother turned into a gross insect I'd keep him as a pet insteas of abusing him. The answer to would you love me if i was a worm should always be yes 😤

The story was represented as quite a comedy to put it lightly to readers, yet analogy of few intricate challenges that happen in real life..people and the atmosphere around Gregor instantly changed the moment he couldn't support them with his physical impairments.

That last sentence rubbed me the wrong way. I get why he ended it that way (what with the whole thing being about Gregor’s new body) but maybe next time don’t focus on how a younger woman moves
