Cat's Eye

TWs: Bullying, suicidal attempts, terrorists (planes), trauma (psychological/mental)

My life has been changed, soundlessly, instantaneously.

What a beautifully written novel, yet so heartbreaking and sad ;-; The story is written like an autobiography in the present tense as Elaine reminisces memories as she is getting ready for her retrospective exhibition.

It's unfortunate that Elaine had resorted to vengeance and took on Cordelia's 'persona' as she grew up. Though, it could have been different depending on many factors. How might it have been if someone had noticed what Elaine was going through? Who could have stopped Cordelia's bullying? Would they all have been drinking tea as old friends if it had been identified early on? Elaine's vengeance clouded her vision and perhaps came to the realization too late.
