I love me a character who’s supposed to be smart and makes stupid decisions. *eye roll*

I’d be so freaking out if I didn’t know which reality was real and which wasn’t. Kudos to Peter for not being curled up like a shrimp under the kitchen sink.

I’m immersed.

“Into The Life Of Things”. There’s such a thing as too much yoga.

“Come”. Death by horniness.

“Jubilee Juncture”. I give you one word: dolls.

“Run For Your Life”. Time Travel and The Beatles. Help!

“Laugh Lines”. Creepy castle shenanigans where the laughter gets stuck in your throat. The email format was effective .

“Lunar Eclipse”. This is, what, romantic horror?
I’m not quite sure I get it.

“The Art Of What You Want”. Cereal, Seltzer and the loss of a loved one causing a businessman to derail.

“Nice”. One for the Grinches. Merry fucking Xmas!

“Generation”. Becoming a parent can be horrifying. Like, really horrifying.

“The Unluckiest Girl”. A conversation in a bar with an Oh No reveal at the end.

Skipping “Rest Stop” since I only just read it separately. Trying to manage my expectations because even if this is Nat Cassidy, short story collections are usually a mixed bag.

Wormholes always give me headaches.

“Eventually, someone was going to do something careless or stupid, and the whole of humanity would be engulfed in conflict at the very moment we most needed to pull together and speak with a single voice.”

*sigh*

We have a countdown, and I sure hope it brings some suspense into this relatively cozy snooze fest.

Okay. That kiss came out of left field. And we’re banging, too? Did NOT see that coming.

Cruising along nicely, but “nice” won’t earn this book more than three stars.

I don’t really see the point anymore, although I do kind of see it.

But repetitive now. Time to shake things up.

Still goes deep under my skin. The WW1 scenes are naked horror.

Lese/höre es nochmal auf Deutsch, für den Buchclub. Das deutsche HB hat nur eine Sprecherin, während beim englischen die beiden POV’s auf eine Sprecherin und einen Sprecher aufgeteilt waren. Hm.

“Life is stronger than you are and will roll out how it will and fuck you if you get in its way.”

“Sie schaute ihn an wie ein waidwundes Reh.”

Ernsthaft? Die 70er haben angerufen und wollen ihre Analogien zurück.

Kinda slow now. And depressing. No matter what you do differently, fate will still strike? Is that the lesson we’re learning?

We’ve gone back in time for a second chance.

Oh. The POV of the sentient spaceship?
