NO NOT THE DOG!!!!!

NO! Not Cleo and Wyatt! D:

The religious commentary has been kind of meh, but Sophie and Ben finally kissed. Good for them!

Sophie, girl...Ben who is your own age and a teen wants you and you want him, but then you just tried to make a move on Maro who's 8 years older while quoting Wuthering Heights while Ben saw?

This is gonna blow up so bad!

Sophie is just so burdened by shame and guilt. Please, I hope she finds peace!

The religious stuff so far just seems like Baptist evangelicalism but with a thin Catholic aesthetic.

Sophie cannot catch a damn break!

Leede is doing a very good job of balancing out the horror moments with the more tender ones. I just read one of the most horrific scenes in the entire book, but she spent enough time to let the dread linger and for Sophie and Ben to try and have pleasant moment in the wake of it.

Ben's back. I didn't think he would just up and vanish from the narrative like that.

Sophie, if you're 17/18 falling for a 24-year-old guy, you need to snap out of it. Now, is definitely NOT the time.
