What did you all think Emerence and the main character as you were reading The Door? I felt like it was instantly obvious the narrator was an annoying bitch and that Emerence was a good hearted woman. Honestly, I felt really sad for Emerence and really annoyed with the narrator the more I read the book. What do you think Emerence’s biggest mistake in life was? It might be easy to say her mistake was being too secretive, but every time she opened up to someone in her life she always got punished for it hard (except with that police captain). I am honestly not sure, I feel like my life is vaguely following Emerence’s trajectory and I’m not sure how to pivot out of it.
