Status Updates From The Kingdoms

Ok, I like this book.
The pace is slow, but I'm soooo curious what's going on. Reading this is like watching a mystery unfold because there's no hint what is/was happening.

If I didn't know it, I wouldn't guess that there's a gay romance coming, but knowing just that and nothing else adds to the mystery.

christmas scene is fully giving Barbie&Nutcracker ending

"He put a new star on to the tattoo whenever they met up. He was two off finishing Orion."

😀😀😀my bad for learning how to read. 😀😀😀😀genuinely makes me sick.😀😀😀😀

every time there's a cutscene to the past with Kite and Jem i feel like banging my head repeatedly into a concrete wall :)))

imagine naming your kid Misery (ok, fine TECHNICALLY it's Missouri), no wonder he ends up being depressed, suicidal and gay. you didn't even try to give him a chance.

me when i'm at the miserable red-head convention, but Kite is already there 💔💔💔

" Dry, his hair was red, but dark, a deep colour Joe had only seen in church windows. He had let his hands drop around his own neck, as though he were imagining martyrdom."

first introduction to Kite and he already wants to khs:
" He was still looking at Joe as though he much preferred to freeze to death tham climb out on to the island"

thinking about "the man who waited by the sea" 🚬🚬🚬

the whole Alice and Joe situation. . .

re-reading for annotation purposes. I'm also in the mood for some real ass yearning and lighthouse setting
