dang

it’s also so interesting that this story is told from the perspective of a bystander, even though we don’t realize it at first. like henry was the real driver of the plot and we watch it unfold with a role smaller than we realize and then it ends with him being shot, realizing that he is just a bystander

i was going to ask why it feels like henry had more regret over julian leaving than killing two people but i got my answer in the next line

ooo the plot thickens

wow the pacing of the book works so well like you can tell it’s reaching the tail end of its wind down (although maybe some of it is the fact i can tell that there’s only like 70 pages left)

ah this friend group feels very greek somehow, with the romantic entanglements and the backstabbing (frontstabbing?)

dang the expansion from purely richard’s pov to what was happening to henry and charles behind the scenes/outside of our perspective is a nice touch

well they finally found him … interesting to see where this ends up; also the tv scene made me physically recoil that was rough

ugh the writing in this book is so good
