GRACEWOOD SO REAL FOR THAT. Viola said ohhh I’ve never done this before,,, what do two people as we both are even do,, if you would even want— and Gracewood said IVE BEEN PEGGED BEFORE GET IN HERE BABY

Mira stay weird never change

He does accept it far too quickly. And, honestly, anything else would have been somewhat difficult to read through. But I do find myself itching for a bit more realistic arc of his in that regard. That would be satisfying in its own way. Anyway. Also hoping that Hall continues to explore the contradictions of grief

I really am enjoying the book so far, but I am laughing at the idea that he would really not recognize his lifelong bestie even a little bit. Even if she shows up with tgirl swag, like c’mon man😭

“Or maybe it was just her old friendship with Gracewood, which had waited for her as loyally as Odysseus’s dog, lifting its weary head for one last acknowledgment before it let itself fade away.” 🥵🥵🥵

that’s actually really interesting to think about how men and women really COULDNT be friends in that society. there was really no way to interact besides romance, sex, or “polite indifference.” you couldn’t like. hang out
