The way this story is structured (going Bear, Julian, Gordan, repeat) is giving me whiplash because holy god almighty these boys aren't the same person in the slightest.

Despite all the horrendous abuse and other heartbreaking things in this book, the passage about two middle-aged lesbians falling in love is the part that has me weeping like a infant. 🥹😭

"How are you feeling about it?" Maia asks.
"I don't know," she admits. "Sometimes it feels easier not to think. It'd be like opening a dam."

Well I definitely think this book dethrones The Mercies for "saddest book I've read in 2026."

1. This book makes me feel like a tightly wound spring that's ready to snap.
2. I've gotta stop picking up books that have abusive men in them, it's becoming an unfortunate pattern.
