Oh, I am hooked

oh, are you fucking kidding me —

jfc

I sense I know where this is headed and I don’t like it!!!!!

When things have been going well for the past 50 pages but the new boyfriend is a pharma rep for Purdue talking about pain being the fifth vital sign 🔫

“Eyes raised up, body tethered by one long thread to the big stormy sky, the whole of him up there with his words, talking to whoever was listening. I’ve not seen a sight to match it. No bones of his had ever been shoved in a feed bag. The man was a giant.”

“I couldn’t wait to get started. I would make one of Aunt June as Wonder Nurse, putting a new heart back in a boy that had his own torn out.”

😭😭😭

That Hillbilly Elegy got traction over books like this one makes me ✨apoplectic✨

Truly how unhinged would it be if I restarted this immediately after finishing it I DONT WANT THIS STORY TO END, I WANT TO LIVE HERE.

INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS. She does Shenandoah Appalachia such justice 🤌🏼

Maggie, the storyteller that you are 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

“We thought we were free, but so far the only difference in our lives here on Jeju was that the Japanese flag was lowered, and the American flag was raised. One colonizer had been replaced by another.”

“How different it is with friendship. No one picks a friend for us; we come together by choice. We are not tied together through ceremony or responsibility; we tie ourselves together through moments. The spark when we first meet. Laughter and tear shared. Secrets packed away to be treasured, hoarded, and protected. The wonder that someone so different can understand your heart in a way no one else will.”

This is… not hitting, sigh
