Omg, poor rosemary. A fate worse than death. At least when you’re dead, people mourn you. She was just covered up with a rug.

“This was something that Jackie and Lee had in common with the Kennedy men, an incestuous tendency to compete for lovers and sometimes share them.” … gross! Lol

Joan is the wife for whom i feel most acutely.

If nothing else, i believe in the Kennedy Curse now. I wonder when that term was coined. It wasnt so much invented as it was acknowledged, like gravity.

“She’d never even had a credit card.” It’s 1974… women couldn’t GET credit cards until 1974. Lol

If he didn’t really love her, WHY would he re-up for another year of the hell of war?

What does it tell the reader that the man who got her into the military, telling her women can be heroes, is a liar? This needs wrapped up. Hopefully it will be. Otherwise this seems a pretty fatal flaw.

We naturally trusted Rye, as he was Fin’s bff. Was her brother mistaken in being friends with him? Is he not so bad??

Things this protagonist can do: immediately look up a man’s wife in hospital records when his name is mentioned. Things this protagonist cannot do: look up a man from few fraught years’ prior, whose fate was uncertain tho bleak, whom she loved?

Pacing is very fast now.

Cant decide why her friends have fared so much batter than her, post-war.

“she couldn’t wait to tell them about the engagement” but she’s been engaged for two months?

I feel like the book is finally back on track. It was reasonable, what she went thru and felt after the war, but it was also so boring a read after the exciting and compelling events jn Vietnam.

I had a hard time imagining Henry looking like anyone other than Cheech.

This is the first time in the series that i feel like i cannot keep up with how the world works. Has too much been introduced this time around?

I just need it to be said that Jamie is not a womanizer. Then itd be perfect.

Already feels like such an adventure!!!

How can anyone die now that there are such good healers?

Time and chance happen to them all

Adolin and Kaladin’s dialogue is soooooooo cringe. I think the dialogue is written like a nerd with unhealthy male relationships thinks two very different men would talk to each other. Yikes. It always snaps me out of the story. I loved #1 and #2 of this series but #3 has been a slogggggg.

Also, I keep hearing Eddie Murphy’s voice when they find a new radiant popping up. “Like daisies!!”

Need to mark bc the boys keep pulling out my bookmark! Haha

Celia is the worst. Wants bombshell. Wants bombshell to do bombshell things. Also cannot stand when bombshell she wants does bombshell thing…

Finding this tough to connect with. She shouldn’t be with an actor but she’s forcing it. Idiot.

“Luisa made the food, obviously.”

Then why were two in the love triangle just fighting over who got to make breakfast?? Annoying oversight.

“She had said, ‘go, have a baby.’ But she had meant to add, ‘just don’t act like a mother.’”

F***ing bitch. Hate her.

As a mom, truly painful

Beautiful Ruins turned out to be the perfect book to read before this book. Rex reminds me so much of the drunk actor from that book.
