I can’t really include the best quotes because spoilers, but wow some of this feels like she's crept into my brain and poured it out on the page. "All _ ever did was utter a stern word. _ only ever held them to the same exacting standards _ held themself. ... She could not shake the conviction that if she had gotten into a tizzy about it, then it was all her own fault. ... Something wrong with [her.]"

"Watching him try to give comfort was like watching a duck put on a suit." Good line!

Also I cannot included any quotes about this because spoilers, but some of the ways Peter describes... I can't even say what he's describing, but suffice it to say, it feels very relatable even though I haven't had that exact experience myself.

With this backstory reveal, I officially love Peter (not that I didn’t like him before!)

Also, I just want to lovingly shake Alice by the shoulders and tell her, "You can’t appease someone determined to be unappeasable! It only makes you miserable!"
