Status Updates From The Collector

“The ordinary man is the curse of civilization.”

I'm so sorry to say it but Miranda being pretentious about art is irritatingg if I were Fred I'd be giving her back within the day. Rooting for her, of course, but cmon.

Went back to the start to re-read up to page 24. I'm really loving this book so far.

I can see Fred is a really insecure guy. Always assuming people look down on him to the point that going up to the girl he likes doesn’t even seem like an option and resorts to kidnapping her instead. He’s also an unreliable narrator thinking that Miranda is actually tolerating with him and that she’s not “actually scared” because she had bravery eyes.
