Forgot that my husband gave me this book and it's been sitting on my work desk behind my monitor this whole time. picked it up in December 😅 might as well add it to this year's reading list

three-sentence chapter - 240 😅

chapter 212

Chapter 114 fave quote:

“People talk about one life…one chance. But I reckon a single life is made up of a dozen or more roles and responsibilities. I can count the versions of myself like friend and foe. Mistakes are the detours that remind you of the true way, Saint. To love and be loved is more than can ever be expected, more than enough for a thousand ordinary lifetimes.”

Chapter 96 fave quote:

“To hold on to your faith…when you do this job. It’s something I never managed. God is a first call and a last resort, from christening to death bed. In between is where faith is tested. The mundanity. Anyone can drop to their knees when they’re facing crisis, but doing it when everything is steady…”

Chapter 94

consistency -- or persistence -- is key

chapter 64 fave quote:

"And she talks about how we construct our ideals out of our own past mistakes. And I wonder what exactly a mistake is. A thing we should not have done, right? But if learning is built on trial and error there can be no mistakes, only rungs on a ladder to someplace better.”

Chapter 49 fave quote

“Okay is the preserve of the uninspired, Patchwork. I’d rather live and die at the extremes than exist in the middle.”

picked this one up again. it's giving me Peaky Blinders vibes

naive main character.... 😑

i don't know much about this book, as with most books that i pick up. but the first few chapters of this one are interesting.

Ugh... I expected a different, maybe deeper, explanation or back story

Can being overly nice be a red flag?
