Nobody:
The narrator: Bobby was just so OBESE. He was so FAT. GOD JUST LOOK AT HIM. His FAT dead body took up most of the backyard

Most of this novel so far has been the son going "oh I'm so scared papa" and the father telling him to stfu

oh sylvia plath, how I dislike you but adore your work...

Surprisingly, this duology is actually not... irksome and awful? That's something I've certainly never expected from Ellen Hopkins.

"Dear Friend, I have searched all night // through each burnt paper // but I fear I will never find // the formula to let you die"

rereading this feels like an interaction between animal and hunter, when the creature is fearful, but doesn't know its demise awaits it. I remember reading this last year and thinking that maybe the ending wouldn't be devastating, and finny and autumn would love each other forevermore. My naivete convinces me that maybe the coming death is really love. In this way, I am both like the metaphorical deer and sniper.

♯ . I'm so excited to begin my reread. If you wanna follow along, follow @lyre.of.orpheus_ on insta!

Giving this one a retry because I feel I was a bit too critical with my previous review.

What in the actual fuck was that chapter? I was both on the edge of my seat, and deeply confused by the flow of the book.

Woah.

Wow, I know I usually hate romance, but these characters are too cute, and too relatable. I absolutely adore Vivi's charming personality, and Jonah's nurturing kindness.
