Mads's Reviews > Tomie

me whenever tomie did anything; you’re doing amazing, sweetie 📸

this was such a fun horror. and don’t get me wrong, tomie is a horrible person (although i’m convinced she wasn’t always that way because of the first chapter and what we’re told about her later on, but that’s neither here nor there) but there’s just something so compelling about the fact that tomie wouldn’t have been able to do half the things she did in this book if the men hadn’t played right into her hand. the thing we’re told makes tomie a “bitch” is just the fact that she’s pretty and she knows it, but why is that her problem? if people weren’t obsessed with her looks then she wouldn’t even know she was pretty, and if she didn’t know she was pretty then why would she be so obsessed with getting revenge on men for what they’ve done to her?

that being said, fuck tomie for literally grooming a kid at one point. that was so out of character for her considering she’d only ever gone after adults, but it makes me so mad.
