As this book started I really didn't like Scout for what he's done to Marie for the last 25 years. He really can't be that stupid to know she's been pining for him or that the guys of the club have been scaring away men, all the while he screws anyone he wants. Sure I get for maybe the first couple of years he should have stayed away, the age difference then, let alone how dependent she was on him were a factor.
I did like how the guys, all the guys, were calling him out on his behavior, protecting Marie first.
I feel very sad about Sarah and what her life has been like.
This really got crazy at the end here. I can't believe all the stuff that happened, the one guy not letting things go, bombing Marie's house, Scout getting hurt, Sarah dying, but only after talking to Ariel, the buying of the new house on "the" street, becoming parents, Marie getting her cut and then letting Scout know she was pregnant. So much, but I still don't know that I could forgive Scout the way Marie did...25 years is a lot of time to be marginalized like she was and then to have it change over night.
