I wanna kill Gibbs. I wanna kill whoever hurt Lila.

I have strong emotional feelings with the past few chapters. I feel so angry with some of the characters in this, but Joey is just. He's everything to me right now.

Take care of her, my dude.

The way Joey describes his grandpa 😭😭😭😭

My criminal justice brain says Carl is 100% guilty of all crimes and that EVERYTHING happening to him is justified.

But, there's a voice telling me that somethings not right and I'm not sure what. I'm really enjoying this.

Hey Allen, do we have mommy issues?

I feel like we have mommy issues. I mean honestly same though. This book is putting me through my paces because Joey's mom is pretty much just like mine.

The description and treatment of Joey's mom made me stop my truck and nearly wail on the side of the road. Coming from a childhood with a mother much the same, that whole ordeal hit hard.
