Guys I'm losing my mind over this book; someone PLEASE read it with me! Or just read it whenever! For the love of god, you gotta read it!
"I expect when you finish this account, you will have a clear image of him, enough to pastiche and anticipate him. I'm glad of it. I need him to be alive to someone else."

More Christmas phone call!!
"You must have been a strange little girl."
"How dare you."
"I can hear in your voice that you are smiling," he said. "What's it like there?"
...There were a few seconds of silence on the other end, and I thought he lost the connection, until he said, "I'm smiling too."
"Oh? My ears aren't quite as good as yours, I can't hear it."
"I will endeavor to smile louder"
Your honor, I love them

Chicken necklace, friend to chicken bag.

"I like the way the chicken is running."
"She is on her way to an important meeting, as you so often seem to be."

Chicken necklace! Friend to chicken bag!
Bestie, this is the kind of Christmas present you get for someone you love. Sorry not sorry.
I wish I could post the original chicken bag interaction, but it's too long to fit and Goodreads won't let me. :(

I LOVE GRAHAM.
Him calling his bridge 'horrid cat' is something that can be so personal...
The Christmas text is killing me. "This missive took me half an hour to write," good job bestie, you're getting better! Also, what do you mean, "Believe me to be your affectionate friend," hello? Don't do this to me. Just marry each other already

I just realized and went back to check; I don't think the main character's name has been mentioned once. It wasn't in the interview at the beginning or when she introduced herself to Graham. She just said, "I'm your bridge." Very interesting, folks.
I love how she alludes to all of this going wrong eventually. Especially in conversations with Quentin. "I hope you'll forgive me. I couldn't take him seriously." Girl.

Guys, this book is SO GOOD! Loving the characters and the plot so far. The time travel theories are all really interesting and frankly aren't ones that I've heard before. I love when a book has such thorough worldbuilding.
Graham and what's her face (his bridge) are really cute, love whatever is going on there. Also, Quentin?? What happened to my boy?

"Language has gone on a long walk since the 19th century... 'Lunatic asylum' and 'asylum seeker' both use the same both use the same basic meaning of 'asylum': an inviolable place of refuge and safety.
"We were told we were bringing the expats to safety. We refused to see the blood and hair on the floor of the madhouse"
That's a pretty great line, my bros!
I'm excited to see where this book goes!
