"Roscoe sat with me in the back of the car and held my hand all the way. It was only a twenty-minute ride, but in that time I lived through two whole lifetimes. His and mine." *ugly crying omggggg* 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Noooooo his brother 😭😭😭 omg

The annual re-read of this beautiful book has begun

I do agree the sentence structure is fairly short through most of the book, but if you take the form for what it represents (Reacher's narrative / mind), it makes sense. If he's ex-military it represents his rational, clipped, action-oriented thoughts. It's doing character work, even if it means the sentences read shorter than typical prose in most other books.

I think I'm a horror fan, at the heart of it all....Frakenstein is horror in a way, so may as well embrace it. This book has some horror elements: "Something wrong with the house a newly moved in family" type of 'haunted' house. The footnotes structure is very interesting, excited to see this book play with format!

YOU DONT HIT ME WITH THE TWO YEARS LATER FLASH FORWARD WITH A SAD PARKING LOT CONFRONTATION AND THEN HIT ME WITH A FOUR YEARS LATER FLASH FORWARD OH MY GOD IM LITERALLY CRYING 😭😭

OH MY GOD NOOOOOO THE ANGST OMGGGGG

Some of the writing is a bit noticeably repetitive, and a few of the phrases (hell's bells) take me a bit out of the narrative, but i'm enjoying it so far. That first kiss was hottt with him telling her to say goodnight, cause he didn't want to do more being rushed/ being interrupted. 🥵

Finally can read past the sample ^.^ Gray kicked some ass and he's chipping away at Ivey's high walls 💖
