womp womp. Well that was... confusing. I get that the book has been gradually hinting towards this but I was hoping for more. There are still 100ish pages. We'll see if it can be saved.

Many things are not adding up here and I am curious to see how the truth is revealed.

So yesterday I was talking to my boss about this book. We are in a work bookclub together and she was telling me that she was listening to the audiobook in the office and had to hurriedly pause it because it got steamy. Here I am thinking, oh yeah- probably not great to have something like that going. And then I read it and hoooey NSFW. It will make the meeting with my mom and coworkers interesting tomorrow.

Oof. Rough start for the main characters.

Struggling with the reality of how the country is functioning right now. I'm sad, scared, & angry. In the "best country" there is a lot of hatred & evil, pushing down people who have been deemed unworthy.
It is so hard to read/ watch the news. It is so easy to ignore it, tune out all of the awful. But that is what they want- for people to not pay attention until it is too late. We can't do nothing. Be aware, be safe♥

first 'other' life down. That was rough, but also expected.

Wow, so much has happened. I am astonished at all that Eleanor has gone through and all she continues to learn about love and friendship from the people she cares about and for the first time in her life- care about her.

Eleanor’s interactions with Sammy and Raymond’s mom are so sweet. It is sad that she hasn’t experienced this kindness or even love in her life.
Slowly learning more about what happened to cause her scars and send her mother away.

Immediately hooked. The beginning was intense and so full of feeling.

I am intrigued to determine what the incident was that happened when she was younger.
I am struggling slightly with the language some and keep having to look up words if the context isn't giving me any clues.
