The heck. I’m pretty sure offers of immunity don’t work like that especially murder attempts, which are criminal cases. It doesn’t matter whether/not Ryan won’t “press charges”, which would be civil suit. I don’t think a town Sheriff, another town’s lawyer, a retired criminal lawyer, and a private citizen (though currently discharge from military) don’t have the authority to make immunity offers.

“In trying to spare the girl’s feelings by ignoring her embarrassing overtures, Abigail’s fantasies were allowed to spiral out of control”.
Again, Ryan is responsible for another woman’s actions and emotions. Because of course a woman can’t be reasonably asked to control her own emotions or think beyond her own misguided justifications for things.

Abigail physical hurt Ryan (black eye) and she is supposedly justified for him “sparing her feelings” even though he turned her down after she proposed marriage & everyone acknowledges how insane Abigail is in her continued and relentless pursuit (read: harassment) of him. Seriously this man and Lily deserve so much more.

“Was it so wrong to want to come first in a man’s heart?”
Actually biblically yeah it is.
Her selfish, self-centred nature has been in flashy display, especially this 2nd half of the book. Trying to pass off, “oh my oh me, I’m just a woman wanting love and devotion is that so wrong” but all the examples is a toxic blackhole of self-serving ideals.

“Maybe it was her bad nature, but Jenny didn’t think what Finn had done was all that horrible.” Yes, our mortal nature is bad which is why we need connection and communion with Jesus.
“Reckless and study, yes, but she wishes Ryan had put her need to have her guilt absolved over his own shame in participating…”. Jenny is Toxic personified.

… why does Ryan need to tell her he bought HIS DAD’s (the only thing he has left of his father) back after SHE PAWNED IT and told him that she DIDNT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT b/c she is a big butt hurt who doesnt know how to forgive. As if she is justified in putting herself on that high horse.

… omgsh spent a whole chapter to justify her breaking his trust by BREAKING IN to his locked drawer. What toxic, criminal behaviour. Boy needs to run fast and he needs to run far (but ofc he won’t).
“These warring emotions were his fault, and he hadn’t don’t much to alleviate her anxiety.” Dude her emotions are not on Ryan. She needs to pray.

Also, that’s such a huge order!! Is girl okay having the weight and expectation of being someone foundation for their whole world? Yikes. That just sounds a recipe for failure; unnecessary pressure for perfection.

“She needed to believe she was the foundation of Ryan’s world, but he had not been able to make her feel that way.”
Yo. Our boy Ryan needs to run.
They both do, they need to run to Jesus.
That is toxic thinking. She wants god-like worship.

This is ridiculous it wasn’t infidelity. It was a broken promise because well, life happening. They were together a few short months, he told her “hey sorry we cant be together anymore”, and she just hasn’t been able to move on. She’s entitled to feeling hurt and distrustful but girl you are not owed his whole life and attention and thought and being his absolute everything.

I hope I’m just jumping the gun in my irritation & the story addresses this.
