Status Updates From The Breakaway

- I can’t put my finger on why they all care about her. Is it because she’s like their substitute little sister? Or does Eric only care about her because Evelyn does?
- What is Eric’s hold over Jesse? I don’t get why he wouldn’t just walk away from all of this.
- Jesse is so infuriating. He completely misunderstands her and then gaslights her into confusion. All the while he thinks he’s in the right!

- I can’t feel bad for her parents. They literally ignored her when she was around and now it’s “woe is me, she’s gone”. The gall of her mother wondering why her daughter didn’t tell her stuff when she was around yet it was SEVEN months after her disappearance before she finally decided to be interested in it.
- I feel like shaking this girl by the shoulders she’s been Stockholm’d so badly. Wake up!!

- Brad this and Brad that. Come on, girl. Brad seems awful. He’s just using her for her connections and because he likes controlling her. She was always kidnapped but she didn’t realise it.
- I can’t figure out the Jesse and Eric dynamic. What is the truth behind this whole situation?
- As kidnappers go, these ones aren’t the worst to be fair. But she’s still being held against her will, so there’s that.

- I know what you’re thinking: “Don’t do it, Kadi, don’t read another book about a kidnapping.” What is this, the fifth, the sixth? But they’re just so interesting! The fight or flight feelings. The way the kidnapping is a great excuse for a character analysis for both the protagonist and the kidnapper. The mix of different genres like thriller, drama, mystery, and sometimes a touch of romance.

Naomi is still annoying.
