Status Updates From Nowhere Burning

Super disappointed. I’m gonna keep going cause I’m almost done but in listening to the audiobook, the writing sounds really stilted to me. It just doesn’t sound good. The female narrator is better at covering it up than the male, thankfully, but it’s still very annoying. I’m also VERY bored. Literally never had this issue with one of Cat Wards books before 😭

I can’t believe I got an arc for this I’m actually shidding pissing and farding

Riley watches her mother prick Oliver’s thumb bc
“the [Ouija] board wanted blood.”

“It’s weird how the bodies of the people you love can feel like your own, if they’re hurt. Riley feels a slice of pain every time Oliver winces.”

Adam agrees to stay at Nowhere

Leaf says “It’s not an emotion, love. It’s more like violence. No one tells you that.”

“People don’t want you if you’re no use to them.”

Riley wants to be wanted at Nowhere

Riley thinks Nowhere is dangerous bc the children seem to fear Leaf Winham and bc Nowhere “makes you forget things like caution, and fear.”
