11 chapters in and Colleens spced up her cheating is okay sometimes, and trash men being redeemed by the woman tropes. I get the idea, yes, it's suspenseful, but not because of action, rather flipping the usual hooverisms on their head. This story is crazy.

So is the podcast going to be an interlude because that transition wasn’t clean and I don’t really want to check out of the isolated vibe of a solo writers retreat.

I HATE this family they are so wrong for the way they treat Kenna. Be angry and sad sure but to strip a mother of access to her child before she even births the baby is fucked up. Oh and Ledger is the classic Hoover male lead I don’t care if he’s protecting the family or kid dragging her into your house so she can be hidden is still weird as fuck.

So umm that ch 23 ....Beyond unwell no Colleen kill it with fire

Oh no no no no no Colleen why why yes abuse is versatile but when you feel fear and shame during a fight that's not someone to marry or stay with just end things. Don't justify this with "I pushed him first so how can I not forgive him." It's not cute it's just bad also the butt biting thing is giving a little too much Ted Bundy

chapter 32..... I hate the sister's selfish attitude and will throw this book in the street if she's forgiven because of pregnancy or bullshit independence excuse. It wouldn't take much for you to say hey I'm thinking of making a move would you come with me to check it out and have a mini vacation.

Here comes storm Joy disrupting my Asian American boy meets world remake head canon speaking the quiet part out loud casual racism to remind us of the conflict. TBH I get a vibe that she wouldn't be so bold to if the girl was brown or black which is concerning.

Loving the relatability of the generational gap.

Beautifully haunting opening

Josefa is a leader with a crafty plan to set her and her friends up for life with Hinnah whose familial issues leave her set adrift, Violet is street smart and provides immense help to the required footwork of the mission, and Emilie is most useful in emotional support provided you buy into her backstory being valid reason for her to need to go to her mothers home country (i didn't) to start fresh.
