Okay, I'm re-reading this after reading Back After This this week, because I thought surely, one can't be so good while the other is so bad! But... I don't know, y'all, a wooden duck?? 🦆 Why does this story revolve around a wooden duck? The line that sets off the plot: "Why would a 93 year old woman have a wooden duck hidden in a chest?" Um.... is saying it that way supposed to make it feel mysterious?

Okay, 50% in and I'm finally, finally invested. But that took too long.

I cannot explain how much I don't care about this duck, and it's super weird that everyone in Lori's life keeps asking her about the duck. In a house full of collector's items, stuffed to the brim, it doesn't make sense that everyone cares about this duck. It is harder to suspend my disbelief over the innocuity/importance of this duck than it was for all of Fourth Wing.
