"A spell is not an app" is oddly good (and very specific) advice.

Omg theyre going to MOUNDSVILLE?!

"The chances of a dinosaur appearing in Ohio..."

"She looked like a sexy marshmallow" is my new favorite flirt.

Some friends, am I right?

WHAT

"This is Mortimer. He's the only cat in the house and I can't stand the goddamn thing."

This is so funny to me. I had to stop the book and update this IMMEDIATLY. I love this whole interaction so much.

Damn Avery. You okay? You're a little feral about that razor cut.

If I have to hear "I'll look that up later" one more time, I think I may cry lol

What even is happening? What's the plot? I just

I called it. I CALLED IT.

I asked one of my best friends daaaaays ago because I had a hunch and I was RIGHT.

Okay.

That's all, just okay.

I love a full cast audiobook, but can we maybe turn down the music? I'd LOVE to know what is happening.

Richard, you sly dog. You played me like a fiddle.

Chloe, I take back every bad thing I said about you.

Girly, why are you accusing your dad of this stuff? I thought y'all were tight and now you're out here saying stuff?

God lord, is the whole family just mentally unwell?

I knew that there was a reason to be scared of the little brat, I KNEW IT! Good lord, I could smell that coming from a mile away.

I hope a "love" like this never finds me.

Chloe and Richard can collectively kick rocks. Jo doesn't deserve this.

And I reiterate: Chloe is Gaslighting Royalty. I've never had so much second hand anger at someone before.

Gas. Light. Queen.

Okay.

1: a VERY reasonable crashout from Richard. I would have (and have!) done the same thing in that situation. Ya don't just tell the dude you're interested in stuff like that.

2: Chloe the Gaslight QUEEN. Reminds me of my mother tbh, even with the high pitched baby voice.

Okay so, what's the age gap, here? We've established Richard is like, 50 but how old is Joanne? Why did we get the ending of the book first lol what's happeninggggg

So far though it's really good! I think i like the housekeeper the most, though. She don't want no tea of any kind.

Bro RUN. You should have told someone where you were, that's like, basic intelligence 101.

Stupid!

I wanna kill Gibbs. I wanna kill whoever hurt Lila.

I have strong emotional feelings with the past few chapters. I feel so angry with some of the characters in this, but Joey is just. He's everything to me right now.

Take care of her, my dude.

The way Joey describes his grandpa 😭😭😭😭

My criminal justice brain says Carl is 100% guilty of all crimes and that EVERYTHING happening to him is justified.

But, there's a voice telling me that somethings not right and I'm not sure what. I'm really enjoying this.

Hey Allen, do we have mommy issues?

I feel like we have mommy issues. I mean honestly same though. This book is putting me through my paces because Joey's mom is pretty much just like mine.

The description and treatment of Joey's mom made me stop my truck and nearly wail on the side of the road. Coming from a childhood with a mother much the same, that whole ordeal hit hard.

Who'd she use the shovel against?! Damnit man!
