This book is so beautifully placed directly in a very specific time (a bump-it was used)

I was NOT ready for a swine flu mention

This is so beautiful I’m going to throw up (and not just because I have morning sickness)

“It wasn’t there, I had too much trust in my organizational skills to doubt it” I LOVE HER

Oh now I’m sobbing. Alys Murray, the woman you are.

THANK FUCK HE FINALLY CALLED HER OUT. Disrespectfully, I have wanted to scream these things at her since page one.

I have already cried in the bathroom at work while reading this book so that’s something
