"who got thrown away? you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. i know he's got some good points. i know that better than anybody. but he's done with us. i'm done with him."

"she had thought the age difference between them didn't matter, but she'd been wrong. she would see a world (because she would outlive him by decades) that he would never see. what she hadn't counted on was that she would always be a few steps behind him."

thus we learn about sylvia cheating on don (which he deserves considering he's like, a serial cheater and all, but still)... i think the reason i want jj and ava to have a happy ending for themselves is because none of the other relationships in this book are actually healthy or like, good at all. even if some of them, like sylvia and don's, are complex and interesting.

not for nothing but i do really hope it works out for ava and jay ajfeklsjfk

DRAG HIM AND ALL CHEATERS
