Archivist Comments:

I keep seeing mentions of the LI being more than a bit judgemental, perhaps even verging on discriminatory, towards the MC at times because she “just can’t fathom” that she’s a lesbian. However, these same mentions have expressed relief that she “develops” beyond this and grows out of it by the end of the novel. However, please just let me know if that’s not the case.
