CHARLES?
that letter was so out of nowhere, and it kind of makes me sad. but im glad we're not entirely done with adam trask and his story yet; i love cal and aron, but i was a little worried that the book was going to start moving faster. i hope i can see their development through adam's inheritance as they move to salinas. dessie and tom are so sweet, they reminded me of me and my older sister🥹

and so the next generation begins! its bittersweet, but im glad that adam got his redemption ("im free!") and lee hasn't forgetten his dreams. the hamiltons, cathy, and the trask brothers left a legacy will imprint on aron, cal, and abra but im sure they'll bring their own unique twist on their family legacies. super excited. samuel you legend 💐

caleb and aaron finally have a name bro adam what were u doing🥹 i wish i had more knowledge to the biblical allusions being made in this book. im glad that the verses were spoonfed to me, but im sure there are some fun easter eggs im missing too lol

cathy/kate... girl.

absolutely LOVING samuel's development and his conversation with lee has been my favorite convo in the book so far. samuel is already a charmer but there's a vulnerability between the two that reveals how much more there is to learn about them compared to how they were introduced. i just hope he gets his bag bc the world is sending him so many warnings. let him get paid and cathy DO NOT fuck with him istg
