Avalyn is dealing with a rough realization and it has shaken her up.

I stomped my foot like a little kid.

I have literally seen grown ass adults do this. 🙄😑

And some questions flat out cross a line. I've dealt with that too.

Avalyn's empathy for Adam is interesting to read about wrt bullying and the way they've both struggled with standing up for themselves against bullies. That's very relatable.

His face softened a little. “She was always sad, okay? She was never, ever not sad."

My guess is that Adam's mother had depression.

I can understand why Adam wanted Avalyn to stop asking him questions about his life. I've been there. Some people can come off as nosy whether they mean to or not.

It's interesting how Avalyn thought that Magneto was a sympathetic character.

The foreboding mood at the end of that chapter was intense.

I noticed he [Avalyn's dad] was wearing his Mr. Good-Lookin’ Is Cookin’ apron Mom had bought him for Christmas. My cheeks flushed in embarrassment. I hoped Adam didn’t read it.

Oh, my god!! That's fucking great!! Too funny. 😆😂

It was cool to learn about the mormyridae. I didn't know about it, but I don't know much about marine biology, so that's understandable.

I'm correcting myself. All of the dialogue at the end of that chapter was cute. 😁
