Kindle Notes & Highlights
I am desperately, painfully, completely, and stupidly in love.
Ok first mistake
I’m scared that if I tried to kiss her, she would slap me across the face.
As she should
And I’m terrified that the moment I get her alone, I will wrap my fingers around her pretty, white neck and squeeze the life out of her.
Well fuck me, ALRIGHT TOM
I stare at the man, waiting for him to tell me that Kevin was killed in a tragic taxi accident on the way to our date, because this guy is definitely not Kevin.
Valid
It feels like I’m walking next to a broomstick.
HAHAHAHA A BROOMSTICK
“Well,” he adds, “except for your arms.” “My arms?” “They’re kind of flabby.” He wrinkles his nose. “But other than that, wow. Like I said, you’re the perfect woman.”
Not this man-child negging her
“Hot damn,” Kevin remarks, following the path of the waitress with his eyes as she goes to get our drinks. “She has really nice arms.”
KEVIN YOU FUCK FACE DICK NOB
I hope the bathroom has a window I can climb out of.
GIRL me too
“Um…” I eye his outstretched arms and the pit stains
Not the pit stains
Mystery Man
Possibly stalking Sydney? Is it Tom from the prologue ?? Cant be a coincidence that he shows up at the perfect time, in a low traffic residential neighborhood, and saves Sydney
Slug,
BEG UR PARDON
he shot up to over six feet in the last two years, he’s only gained about ten pounds from when he was five feet tall. He looks a lot like a walking skeleton that put on a pair of blue jeans and a T-shirt and got a face full of acne.
THIS HAS GOT TO BE KEVINNNNN. And toms got to be mystery guy and theyre FRIENDS
She looks very pleased by this turn of events. Much more so, I suspect, than if I sliced through her jugular with a knife.
ALRIGHT TOM, DAMN
parents screaming at each other and dishes shattering as they hit the wall.
Tom grew up in an abusive home
Truth be told, I’ve only kissed a girl once, and I didn’t even want to do it. She kissed me. Except the only people who know about that are me and her. And now just me.
SORRY?! What do you MEAN 'now just me'?!?!
After all, the less time I spend with the chief of police, the better.
Oooooooh bc ur a killla?!? Ffs tom
Bonnie
Neighbor, lives below sydney, also uses same dating site
No wonder Mystery Man didn’t ask for my phone number. He was probably completely disgusted by my bloody wound. Men do not find that sort of thing attractive.
Girl be so fucking for real. Stop dating trash-can men
Willebrand disease, which basically means that if I get a papercut, I’m going to leave a trail of blood behind me.
Might save ya life
can’t get Slug a girlfriend. I would if I could, but I can’t. He’s actually a really good guy, but something about him makes girls nervous.
I bet he does, lil creep
Anything insect related fascinates him.
Slug believes that eating insects is perfectly okay. Sort of the natural circle of life.
Even though he’s only seventeen, his teeth are already yellow. It’s probably from the cigarettes.
Slug description
but I could swear I didn’t inherit any genes whatsoever from this man. He is tall and burly, while I am medium build and lean. Even if I grow another inch or two, I’m never going to look like him. We’re nothing alike.
Tom doesnt think him and his dad r related... Hmm is he serious? Or blanket statement?
“And you brought your loser friend—Cockroach,” my father observes. “Fantastic.”
HAHAHA stop it rn
Slug is always eating. Always. He weighs less than Daisy’s backpack, and yet he’s always stuffing his face.
Evidence that Slug is potentially Kevin - Sydneys terrible date at the start
she is the one with the split lip.
Tom comes from abusive family. DV towards the mother. Dissmissive abusive dad. Mum dissmisses the abuse and lies
Slug will sometimes look at her in a really inappropriate way.
Slug wtf thats ur friends mum. Pull it together
“I’d like to kill him,” I blurt out.
I’ve never let on the sorts of wild thoughts that run through my head sometimes. I’ve been careful about it.
expect his face to wrinkle in disgust, but weirdly, it doesn’t. Instead, he says, “Well, why don’t you?”
SLUG MAAN COME ON. Encouraging murder is wild behaviour
“It’s illegal. I would go to jail.” “Only if you get caught.”
Oh no. It’s Kevin,
Ugh hes back... Kevin i know ur slug. I see u
“Okay, fine. But you’re making a mistake.” His eyes darken as they bore into me. “A big mistake.”
A threat??
Even taller than Kevin—definitely well over six feet, with baggy eyes and dirt that seems permanently ground into the ridges of his fingers.
Randy description. Also very tall and unkept... ok randol you giving pink flag rn
And yet… There’s something about the way he looks at me sometimes. Not all the time, but sometimes. He stares just a little too long. And it doesn’t exactly feel like he’s checking me out, like some guys do. It’s something else. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I can’t pretend I don’t know what Bonnie means when she says he’s creepy.
Alright Randy you absolute creep. R u slug??🤨🤨
Bonnie was in the lobby when I got home, having just finished her date with Dr. McHottie. And then, by chance, I ran into an attractive guy only a few blocks away from our apartment building.
MYSTERY MAN 🤝 DR MCHOTTIE
Is it possible that Mystery Man and Dr. McHottie are one and the same?
Ohhh i had this theory
The man is dangerous.
Kevin is becoming a problem. Also, Kevin used fake photos on the first date he took Sydney on. And now he’s cat fished her AGAIN posing as a guy named Chad, with NEW pics that ALSO aren’t him? Ugh ffs Kevin
Does this constitute harassment?
AH yes babe... YES IT DOES
possible there are no decent men left in the entire city?
Very
But after thirty seconds, there are no footsteps. Bonnie hasn’t thrown the door open. There’s no sign anybody is even home.
Where the hell is Bonnie.... Coincidence??
it isn’t Bonnie who steps out of the elevator. It’s Randy,
Mm.. a little suss Randy.
Randy’s Adam’s apple bobs slightly. He is so skinny that his Adam’s apple is painfully large and sharp.
Ok Randy. I SEE you. You slug huh?
“I’m just worried about her,” I admit. “This isn’t like her.”
her floor isn’t clean. It is stained with dark brown circular droplets forming a trail that I now realize leads out of the kitchen and down the hallway to Bonnie’s bedroom.
The fact that Randy “didnt notice” the blood on the floor? RED FLAG
