I am sick and I want to kms

WTF has Hugh figured out

While I am thrilled for them I wanted Sean’s birthday 😫

God. Rereading this after reading R10 reinforces how much brainwashing Mark did on Lizzie. Like he completely fuckdd up her head and he knew exactly how to do it bc he DID IT FOR YEARS. I’m sick. And poor freaking Gibsie, caught in it because he doesn’t want anyone to know his past

I feel for Claire so much, I do. I’ve been in that situation so many times and it’s so hard. But after hearing Lizzie’s dad up and left them WHILE her mother is still clearly sick…maybe we should’ve paused there and not brought up potential self harm just yet

Not even halfway & I’m at 217 highlights 👀

God I feel so bad for these kids 😔 they’re all walking around with trip wires and no one knows when to dodge

Someone on tiktok said Brian was symbolism for Mark, and this scene is really proving that theory

It’s moments like this where I think back on “cheating” or “break up” rumors for Shan and Johnny in future books, and am proven how delusional some of the people are who read these books…like. They truly are not absorbing shit from this series to come to conclusions like that and think it’d be possible lmao

I still have a mega problem with how this author deals with men being sa’d, especially in this instance of it being an adult and a minor. I understand it’s based in the 90s, but also, it’s a fictional world…idk. I just wish it would be handled better. SA in general is not handled properly in this book and the author toes the line even w the main couples
