Two-spirit!!

Holy shut this work on page 191

“ after all, the ferry thought, his own shadow had abandoned him. For better and worse, humans were defined by the actions they took, reflected by the shadows they cast. Peter shadow had been so repulsed by him that it had split off entirely. It refused to have anything more to do with the way he lived his life.”

Holy shit this should be classified as a thriller locked in with a psychopath- and I mean this in the best way. As someone who is trapped in a relationship with an incredibly needy, infantile man, this book is positively a spot on terrifying glimpse of what it is like to live with someone like that.

pg 167 “ Peter laughed like it was the funniest thing he’d ever heard. “They’re not all Ethan. You’re all lost. You’ve always been lost, and that’s the most you’ll ever be.” 😰

This book positively excels at leaning into the original book’s portrayal of Peter as abusive, horribly childish, and psychopathic

Two spirit rep!

Great short first chapter. In such a small amount of words, it is really cool how much set up there is. I also really appreciate that for readers who don’t understand how half or step siblings work, all of the characters relations are explained in a way that never comes off as instructional or exposition, but uses the established voice to great affect.
