no but fr i love cal. he has this constant inner battle with himself between wanting be good or conforming to his natural instincts of being bad and overcoming that would be so hard! i love his character so much

i LOVE cal. i’m so happy for him and it’s hitting close to home fr.

ur so telling me adam trask invented large scale exports/imports of fresh foods in the us

i really love adam’s recollections on samuel. it’s sweet knowing he got some sort of brotherly companionship that he missed out on with charles and to samuel as well to a degree. i miss you samuel come back

bruh… i was really hoping for a reunion of the trask brothers and now they are so gonna go live in salinas and everything is gonna go wrong

using the word ‘do-hickey’ in the correct context is hilarious.

the past few chapters have tickled me a bit but not in a oh this is funny kind of way but oh this is the first joke i’ve read in a while.

cathy having all those pictures of people who use the brothel. literally the cathy files

part 3 time!

saying how you don’t want to call ur kids cain and abel and ending up with caleb and aaron????

use of racial slurs: increased

u know this book old as hell when all it took to lose your identity was changing your name from cathy to kate

i’m back. this book is hard to get back into. a lot of it is background and character description that it can sometimes feel like that is all the book is going.

also,not loving the name ‘the chinese’ to refer to a character.
