I know people were saying this book was sad but damn..

I love how Shane is basically the opposite of nonchalant. My very-chalant king haha

my atheist ass is kinda struggling with all the religious content and reflections. Which was interesting at the beginning but unfortunately I'm bored already because I low-key don't care 😞

I'm so sorry but there's no way this man immediately died from an impaled eyeball..
I'm not sure if I can make it to 100p before dnfing, the writing is hideous

"I turned round and saw the mound that stood out so sharply against the monotony of the plain. There were never piles!"

how is there so little but also so much happening in this book. This single sentence made my heart speed up

"The other women also kneeled down and echoed her words, as if, in the face of horror, ancient rituals regained their meaning."

"I never knew why Daisy left, exactly. What it was about that night.."

I swear to god these MEN are driving me insane, I actually closed my eyes for a breather how can one be so FUCKING dumb and emotionally incompetent

"Niccolo would have bitten. You could just see it" lmao

"The Chosen ones never know they are chosen. They think everyone gets a golden carpet rolled out for them."

"Teddy and I both know that some people needed to feel heard whether or not you actually listened to them."

"When you have everything, someone else getting a little something feels like they're stealing from you."

damn chill TJR, I can't even choose a favourite line

"I wonder what I should have done differently with Daisy"
lmao

every time I pick up a TJR book she surprises me with a different style of narration.
This time it's reality TV documentary. Love it

"I had told them no head wounds, but these peasants have no respect for the frontal lobe."

"He didn't usually kill people who called him by name"
why does this horse remind me of Maximus, the white horse from tangled 💀

WHAT THE HELLY

Mick Riva seems to be in his Frank Gallagher era now..

The closet is made of glass

love the generational parallels between Nina and June (not for them tho), just as a stilistic choice

I was right about that bastard

I've got a bad gut feeling about that Mick boy..

I'm so fucking bored

this is actually so so sweet and I'm so so sorry for Ryan's anxiety, it's sound crippling almost
