kissing him when she knows he’s not over her… ough my heart it hurts so bad…

End of book II // This book was so good. I actually started getting interested in the characters as people and I felt for them as they told their stories this has been so good Pg. 243 // now why would he sign it with love…. That’s so sad like hello??? I don’t think you know what unrequited love does to me… this is devastating

AND THEN SAYING SIX PEOPLE WERE MISSING?????? Don’t make me sob now that’s so sad what is wrong with you oh my god

update it ended well… Brett left them for Romero that is so sad I’m devastated

now THIS is the Bull fighting I was promised… I needed some action lets go!! The Bull is blind and bros still fighting it this cannot end well

Brett saying she’s going to eat lunch with Romero oh poor Jake… genuinely I feel so sad for him…

oh! Cohn beat Romero up! Bro might need some therapy… someone help this poor man… I fear he is unwell.

Jake tried to punch Cohn! to be honest, I said that it was boring but as I read it more I’m realizing I love these characters. When Brett asked if Jake still loved her, I felt sad for Jake, and when he left Brett and the Bull fighter it felt like MY heart had been broken. It might be a slow story but the slow pace where we learn who each character is and all their personalities, it’s growing on me.

bro… they were gonna fight… finally some action and Jake SEPARATES THEM!!!!! I am thoroughly upset. I need them to start punching each other. Every single time they get drunk they start arguing and almost fight but then they stop. I need them to fight. Now.

did bro get ran over by a Bull??? Is he dead???? Bro, someone help him…. Also, I said at the start the writing style was similar to Fitzgerald, but now that I’m further in the book I am noticing more differences between the two. Hemingway’s sentences are much shorter and blunt, whereas Fitzgerald’s sentences were longer, with more flowery language.

reading this is making me overstimulated I cannot imagine being in this environment oh my goodness… like the fireworks, drums, large crowds, dancers, oh no I couldn’t do it… oh and it goes for seven days count me OUT!

realizing I still don’t know what the main point of conflict is in this story…

yo are they gonna fight???? Please fight I need more action

these bull fighting is starting stay calm everybody stay calm … never mind they were boring nothing to note happened at all

i throughly enjoyed the fishing scene in chapter 13. the language Hemingway used paints a really vivid picture of the stream and trout, it was very interesting to read.

“eat? why didn’t you say eat? i thought you just wanted me to get up for fun. eat? fine. now you’re reasonable.” SO TRUE KING me too!!

hold the phone… did they not just talk about how hot it was out???? why is it suddenly so cold???? like I get that we are up high but surely it can't be THAT cold…

these people love to drink omg slow down

why are they trash talking Cohn like they’re teenage girls in a toxic friend group??? like chill ur all terrible people.

oh okay they are traveling TO Spain right now they left Paris and are traveling the countryside. I think I need a map of Europe I thought France and Spain were further apart

when did we go to Spain??? last I checked we were in Paris still wdym “it's a nice Spanish town” when did we go to Spain????

(End of book one) a whole lot of nothing happened in book one. all he did was talk to people and drink. not to say I’m bored but I’m bored. when does it get interesting. i understand we are world building but PLEASE i live for drama where is the flare?? I’m hoping him and Brett do something interesting and I’m excited for the bull fighting. Pg. 86 // Bored when does something happen

there is an aspect of humor i am really enjoying. I don’t know how to describe it, but Jake’s conversation with Cohn has some sarcasm and humor that makes it fun to read. the internal dialogue and the back and forth between the two is fun. it makes the characters feel much more real and fleshed out, giving them things to joke about as they leisurely eat lunch.

I quite enjoy Jake and Brett’s relationship. the bickering, Jake’s care for her, etc. It’s all very fun to read.

Since when were Brett and Jake romantically involved????? Did he not just meet her in the bar??? Okay I went back and read it again… they were flirting and they knew each other before this im not the brightest but we got there…

I’ve noticed a lot of dialouge is very direct and short, which leaves room for more storytelling and narrative.

Although the writing style is vastly different, the book reminds me of The Great Gatsby a lot. This may be due to the timeline it is in, or because Hemingway and Fitzgerald were friends.

Dogfights across the battlefield. Mcclusty scouted for an extra 35 miles.
Bombings from both sides. Akagi was hit and sunk

Spruance never thought of doing less than an all-out attack. Waldron believed that the Japanese would not continue towards midway after seeing the American Navy.
