Cal has become a favorite of mine! When you look past the hard exterior he’s put up, he’s rather bashful and sweet. He craves affection and loves his family to pieces. I appreciate the theme of Timshel spread throughout the story. I believe Cal is the one who needed it the most. God bless you Lee! Im really rooting for the brothers…hope nothing bad happens to them hahahahahaaaaaaa

And in his mind he cried, “Don’t let me be mean.”

:(((
sweet boy :(

it just keeps getting better!! i’m starting to appreciate cathy/kate a lot more now. she’s pure evil without reason to be. brilliant, calculating, and worst of all, patient. such a good depiction of a sociopath, i almost love her. after all that, it felt nice to see adam again. samuel really beat the sense back into him, what a guy. i find that he and lee have the most insightful ideas. (hello aaron and caleb!)

the description of our cathy keeps getting more and more demonic and unsettling. it’s crazy how someone like samuel, who tends to see the good in others, immediately clocks that something is off with this woman. steinbeck has such a way with words brrr im afraid of what’s to come

i mean, i predicted the love triangle from a mile away. that’s to say, im unsure of what is going to happen from here. are cathy and charles going to continue to deceive adam? what’s in it for charles? he doesn’t like the girl. i’m afraid this is going to blow up in their faces and the brothers’ relationship will become unfixable. i’ll be sad if that happens bc i really like their dynamic and characters

adam and charles reunion!! cathy is quite interesting but i’m worried she’ll create a rift btwn the brothers aaa
