mondschatten’s Reviews > The Tragedy of Felix and Jake > Status Update

Immediate thoughts: Don't fuck with the drug use trigger warnings on this one. (Not applicable to me, but FYI.) I asked for a book that would fill that 'great writing and emotional intensity' of GP/L62, two people recommended this book, and they were not fucking wrong. So much of the book was super Intense, and I was fucking wrecked at the end of ch. 28. Also, while it had relatively little spice, it HIT (esp audio).

Chapter 27 just happened. Fucking hell. I can't remember the last time something hit this hard. If I didn't know this was an HEA, I'd be so unbelievably torn up right now, but even so my chest is so tight...

Holy fucking shit. People weren't kidding about this book being emotionally intense. Like... My heart is absolutely wrenching right now, and I'm so scared for Jake's sobriety (and, ya know, emotional everything).

"I watch Felix stretch out sideways on the bed and prop his head on his hand, his other flipping back the lid on the donut box, and I swear he looks at anything containing sugar the same way I look at him."

Why do I feel like Felix and Niko would get along amazingly? Unless Felix wanted Niko to share his macarons.

Oh man... I don't think I'm *quite* as bad as Felix, but still... Holy fuck, do I empathize. I just want to hug him so badly.

I collapse face-first on Jake’s bed after kicking off my boots and bury my face in the pillow, inhaling the faint smell of detergent.

“Mm. You really appreciate fresh sheets once someone shits all over yours.”

Okay, so like... Is there any rule against having unofficial sponsors? Apart from the whole 'should two recovering addicts be in a relationship?' thing, I don't see why two people can't support each other even if they're not your actual sponsor. Unless the main issue is who your first call would be?

But I'm lucky enough to be rather ignorant when it comes to addiction recovery.

"Feelings are dumb. I wish I never felt them."

Why does this entire conversation feel like a fucking dream? Is it just because I'm overtired IRL?

God, Felix does live updates like I do!
