You don't think the daughter is innocent, do you? It's too late for her. She's already a monster. Someone should put her down.

— aw shit... here we go.

Unfortunately, I predicted this plot point, but I'm still interested to see how it all unfolds 👀

my brain rapid-fires through a version of the future. (...) A future where I force myself into the shape of womanhood so I never have to risk seeing my father in the mirror, not more than I already do

—I was then shot 57 times because omg... Bro is being a little too relatable rn 🫡

The episode, the video of William Campbell, Mom's social media pages, every video, every podcast, they all have one thing in common: I'm never actually a person. I'm a story to be unraveled or projected onto. A modern-day circus freak.

Living clickbait.

— I'm loving the commentary on sensationalism, commodification and exploitation of tragedy/trauma so far.

"I think violence comes easily to you (...) because you've found it's often the only form of communication people respond honestly to."

—This book is gonna hurt me isn't it?

Dad says, "For what it's worth, you were so good at hurting people."

I close my eyes. I can't look at him. I can't do this.

"You were a natural. God, if you'd just kept our little secret, I could have taught you everything. I could have helped you get away with anything (...) But you stuck me in here," he says. "So when you finally make a mistake, I won't be there to save you."

—This is gonna be a wild ride

If I don't end up loving this one, I'd be very surprised 👀
