Status Updates From Piezas en fuga

Hmm…Jakob you are a bit toxic. Your trauma unveils itself at the attempt to love. You fail to communicate. My heart aches at his tragic loss and unrelenting grief, yet my hand reaches out for Alex and her dismissal. It was unfair, and there is absolutely no excuse, regardless of how lost he feels. *Sigh*

This section is devastatingly beautiful. I’m shocked in the best way possible. I love it. Jakob’s thoughts feel intimate and true. The language doesn’t feel forced, which feels like a contradiction to his own insecurities. I’m hooked as a reader. Jakob is finding himself.

Beautifully written. I reflect on my own life experiences and remember that I should be eternally grateful for the comforts of America. The American Dream may not necessarily be a white picket fence and a single family home, but living a life without an overwhelming fear of death or captivity.
