why doesn't the author use quotations

mack is ... odd

"Her eyes are still wet but she is no longer crying. Without thinking, I reach over and wipe a tear from her eyelash. She closes her eyes briefly at my touch."

I know what they are

"That’s what I’ve called him for the last year, if I had to call him anything. Who are you going to the cinema with? Keeley and Keeley’s Boyfriend. I have thought of him as a possession of hers, a glaring new accessory that I hoped she would tire of and discard as soon as it was no longer fashionable."

real

i am not feeling this main character, so judgy abt what her neighbors are doing and comparing them to her family like tf

roane is a piece of shit

oh shit

“Go, Drew. For all of us. Go see if it’s her.”
“You’re not coming?” I ask, already taking a step toward the Liberty.
She shakes her head. “My dad will be here in, like, ten minutes. It’s up to you. Max knocked over the coffee pot in the back to give you a few minutes to slip out unnoticed.”

are u deadass

WHY ARE ALL THE COPS STUPID

"The coyote dug up Ben Hooper’s corpse."

oh...

he killed that old man, didn't he?

useless fucking cops

"“It must have been the strawberries in the smoothie,” he blurts, leaning against the inside of the door. “Not the eggs. It’s the only thing you ate both times.”
I think of the sliced strawberries sitting on the table at breakfast. It must have been the strawberries? Was he guessing the first time?"

yes now run away

"I look down at my T-shirt. It’s a V-neck, but it’s not all that low. The bottom of the V lands about an inch below my collarbone. “Is that…bad?”
He shakes his head. “It’s inappropriate. We can get rid of it when we get home, don’t worry. I’ll pay more attention the next time we pick out clothes. You can’t remember. You don’t know the rules.”"

maybe drew can kill him

the entire last page of chap 9??? he has to die NOW

"He nods and backs the van toward the road. “Yeah. Those new cabinets are costing me a fortune.”
Cabinets? I blink at him, waiting for him to correct himself, but he doesn’t. “I thought you said the floors were being replaced.”"

run

"The carpeted floor hasn’t been vacuumed as recently as the cab. It’s littered with grass, mud, and pine needles. And two plastic buckets full of tools sit behind my seat, with a shovel stuck between them."

oh!

"Wayne hands me the floral jacket and a black beanie. “For your wet hair,” he explains. “It’s cold out there.”"

i know what ur doing wayne

"He leans forward, folding his arms on the island. “Do you have a fever or something?”
“Huh?”
“You hate going places,” he says. “You hate leaving the house. In fact, I have to practically drag you out into civilization whenever we run errands.”"

LIAR U JUST WHAT HER TO STAY HOME

autumn ur cringe and annoying

"All clean books, of course, nothing crude."

is that true or is that how u picture her u weirdo

the way everyone is treating drew is so weird

"The girl is so young in some of these, she almost looks like a different person. As I swipe, she slowly ages and turns back into me. It’s the weirdest thing, not recognizing your own face. But the proof is right here. Her face is my face. In many of his photos, Wayne smiles at me, or his arm is wrapped around my shoulders, or he’s laughing in the background."

idk im still suspicious

“I’ll prove it,” he says. “I can prove who I am. I have pictures on my phone.”

nah this man was prob stalking her and is the reason she's hurt

"I nod. My head throbs from standing so fast, and my heartbeat thumps like a Lizzo chorus.
Oh, hey. I guess I remember Lizzo. If all else fails, at least I like good music."

lizzo??? out of every musician in the world...u chose lizzo?

pragna is really the only one who can get me out of my reading funk

like a 2.5 . not the greatest but at least i didn't experience it alone ... at the early a.m. hours ... thank u pragna

i was right, this bitch really thought she could do a switch a roo

"Foxy snorted. “Was in some protests back in the day and the cops came to bust it up. These days, if I ain’t being teargassed, I figure I’m doing okay. Keep walking, hon.”"

i like this crazy old woke lady
