A hard won 5*.

I like that Josh is being a dick about them being together. Yes they found love in each other but they found it at his expense. Kennedy treats the reader like adults in showing that the family/ twin dynamic has been broken by Amy & Celeste getting together. This was always going to be the case. I appreciate that.

I mean of course Sarasota broke her. It was the scene of her grief. Jesus.

I can’t reread this book. The dark portions are so dark. I feel like I’ve been carrying a heavy load on my chest since 70% in. When we got a glimmer of light with the Glasgow holiday, it was quickly snuffed out in Sarasota. I’m so miserable. 😭

Kennedy is depicting a state of deep depression and despair. I can’t feel it physically. Que horror.

lol as usual, Amy is full of shit. How convenient to blame Celeste. You never held your own against her. You still aren’t. Own up to your own complicity.

This book is still breaking my heart. Kennedy writes Amy’s grief so well. How horrible. 😭

Colin providing some much needed comic relief.

This book is heart wrenching sha. My heart is sufficiently wrenched.

Oh shit. Aw fuck. Fucking hell. Not the kids. Not Maggie. This is a painful twist.
