SPOILERS
hypotheses:
- newton & max are the only two boys to survive
- the worms have already spread to town once Kent was infected and washed his hands off in the ocean

this book is making me a germaphobe

i literally can’t put this book down, i don’t understand how someone can write something so gross but so compelling.

but i tried searching up any possible depiction for this creature in the book and stumbled across a reddit page and A LOT of people had to skip chapters and stuff cause it was just too much… kinda getting nervous for what’s to come

this book is already so graphic, and i’m here for it

i’ve been wanting to read this one for like a year now

“A hurt animal will bite, even when someone is trying to dress its wounds.”

this book is making me uneasy and making it difficult for me to go to sleep! 😃

“What is that quote from Othello, what Emilia says about men?

‘They are all but stomachs, and we all but food;
They eat us hungerly, and when they are full,
They belch us.’”

bro i just want my girly Agatha to leave her husband and be with my main girly Ada like the tension strong af

like wdym Agatha made Ada HER SPECIFIC PERFUME FROM ROSES FROM HER GARDEN! stfu rn

i fear my comprehension skills are significantly lacking to understand this book fully. however, i do like it enough i guess to continue reading?
