Idk I just can’t put it down! It’s everything I want right now in the best way possible.

I had a hard time getting into it until about 20% but now im hooked

Started off strong in chapter 1-2 but idk started to lose it once chapter Bear started.

Also, good GOD how many character perspectives are there?! Tracy, Alice, Jacob, Carl, Judyta, Louise … okay writing that out now I see there aren’t that many but it just FEEL like a lot especially considering where jumping years a lot too.

okay wait of course the sleez bag boy is named Ryan 🤣 how fitting

okay I think I reach my limit on how much I can tolerate this woman. YOURE DRINKING WINE WHILE YOURE PREGNANT?! IN 2015?!?!

I’m sorry but I can’t. Like you’ve already written about how your “kid” is underweight and malnourished. Now you’re drinking while pregnant. Yup and it’s your RIGHT to have a child and it’s you’re child’s RIGHT to have food and not be born with fetal alcohol syndrome

Chapter 12 testing hunger … “of course I worked. I worked my ass off” followed up a few pages later by “I was now required to work 20 hours a week - between five and ten hours more than I could do - to receive food benefits”

Okay I’m sorry working 10 - 15 hours a week is not “working your ass off”. And the fact she’s still considering another child … smh I can’t with this woman.

I’m trying not to judge too much but it just feels so “woe is me” and “the consequences of my actions are subpar?!”.

also like, cool if you wanna follow your dreams + passions when you know it’s not always profitable … but then stop complaining about being so broke and how hard your life is. You have choices. I find this aspect leaves me having a hard time relating or having genuine empathy.

people hated this book more than the first so now I need to read it to see why 😅

Idk it’s giving such like JonBenet Ramsey vibes it’s ridiculous … where are the pineapple chunks?

this is the exact type of book I was in the “mood” for per say. it’s so heartbreaking but beautiful.

I keep picturing myself reading this book in the sun room of my screen porch and it breaks my heart I can’t be there again doing that.

“Remember, love that doesn’t include honesty does g deserve to be called love”

LOLOL, well that hit close to home. 😅

10/10 Ruth, spot on observation!

Hold on - they decreased her risperidone from 16mg to 5mg?! FIVE?!? lololololol not saying that’s a skittle dose at all - just that it’s such a drastic and dramatic drop for a potent antipsychotic where titration typically occurs 🤣 well. Time to turn off my scientific brain. Now I’m hooked and can’t wait to see where this ends up…

Okay well now I have anxiety reading this.

Okay I just needed to wait 5 or so pages before because ya it got dark!!!!!!
