CHILLS.
Agent McAdams chapter gave me goosebumps and anxiety, the perfect combo for the final stretch of the book.

“Even if our version of love was so incredibly screwed up.”

WELL THATS THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY KELSEY. I still support it tho 😜

Ah FUCK. Agent McAdams just intensified everything.

Way to be a romance hater DUDE

No no no noooooo KELSEY STOP THINKING AND LEAN INTO IT

Literally 🍆😌

Sweating from the intense emotional connection rn.

I—- I can’t even fathom this revelation. All I know is my heart is broken for Kelsey, and I feel like this is my best friend talking. It’s so personal, so raw, and incredibly real how Kelsey is talking.

Halfway check in:

Literally in love with this. Fast paced but doesn’t feel like it. Relatable characters, niche details, and a well thought out story.
So far my only “complaint” is Kyle is too perfect 😂 He’s vulnerable, great at communicating, reliable, consistent, and protective of Kelsey. Like, girl copy and paste him for me please and thank you!

fr though my anxiety was stressing the last 10 pages and I finally felt SAFE AND OFC YOU CAPITALIZED ON IT

Side note: I’ve never been and sci-fi or true crime fan and now I’m invested deeply in this verse.

YOU HANNAH
YOU ARE LIKE PAPA🫵🏼🫵🏼🫵🏼🫵🏼🫵🏼

Reality check pause

It’s incredibly refreshing to read about a characters religious beliefs that 1) aren’t overwhelming and 2) passive aggressive or plain aggressive.

I think this was so beautifully written here. It’s a less than 5 sentence exchange involving it, with two people who have opposite end beliefs, and it was perfectly put.
