Never Tear Us Apart (Never, #1)

by Monica Murphy

*squints*

bro, i hate to break it to you but if you waited a long time to get her out, you DID hesitate. understandably so, but still.

12 year olds in the 21st century do not say this shit out loud.

i'm not buying what you're trying to sell me, ms. murphy.

respect. 👊🏻

no shit, she had a fucking brain injury.

NO FUCKING SHIT

that's SERIOUSLY your concern right now? really?

"but i hope she doesn't have a boyfriend cuz i want her to myself." 🙄

BRO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THEN

they don't let people on death row watch tv, dumbass. ...do they? i actually don't know.

...your therapist told you this likely wouldn't happen, right? or at least, to not expect it?

are you fucking serious.

please get a new therapist.

aaaaand you are officially a creepy stalker. congrats.

STOP BEING SO GODDAMN CREEPY.

😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

THERE IS NO FUCKING TIME FOR THIS CONVERSATION

please spare me.

literally no one takes prozac anymore. did you just type up the three medications you can think of?

do you idiots not realize that the worse people usually come off as harmless? didn't YOUR FUCKING KIDNAPPER appear that way??? god, y'all are dumb.

that was quick.

this book is as subtle as a fucking brick.

at least you admit it.

now who's sexualizing her, fuckass?

SUBTLE

sorry but no thirteen year old is this dumb.

of fucking course.

again, subtle as a brick.

what would they have to speculate over you almost getting your purse stolen? yeah, it'd be in the news and MAYBE they'd want to ask questions, but you could refuse and just leave it at that. actually, this would work to your advantage. no juicy story = no extensive media coverage. the only thing would be when they see it's Ethan who helped. tl;dr you don't know how the media works, Ms. Murphy.

IF I HAD THE CAPABILITY OF POSTING THE SEB STAN EYEROLL GIF I FUCKING WOULD

oh no, not your BRA STRAP! 😱

why can't these guys ever look normal?

i'm trying to be sympathetic here, given your situation, but your whining is starting to annoy me.

you are the worst poet on earth. i've read myspace status updates that were less melodramatic than this.

NO YOU'RE NOT YOURE A FUCKING STALKER WHO IS GETTING OFF ON HER FUCKING TRAGEDY AT THIS POINT. YOU ARE CREEPY.

I FUCKING KNOW, SHE ONLY MENTIONS IT EVERY FUCKING CHAPTER. HOW DUMB DOES THIS AUTHOR THINK HER READERS ARE?

Because I know what happened. I was there. I lived it. I don’t need to hear all the dirty details. I’m an integral part of those dirty details. The only thing I’m curious about is…her. What makes her tick, what moves her. Does she ever laugh, or is she serious and sad all the time? What

i'd like to know this too. amazing that we're this many chapters in and we know nothing about Katie other than she was kidnapped. she was a person with interests before then and she still is now, but so far she's a blank slate.

on the nose, except for the reporter part.

😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

find that very hard to believe but whatever.

this is not how an interrogation WORKS!!! i'm not an expert but i've watched enough true crime shows to know that any good detective wouldn't go in for the kill immediately, especially when it's a fucking teenager being questioned. he'd be questioned for hours and giving his statement and they'd see if it matched up to what evidence is there, not to mention THE VICTIM CAN VOUCH FOR HIM!!! this is not how detectives work and think, i don't fucking care how bad of a reputation his family has. this is just a cliche ploy to hammer into the readers heads that Ethan's life is so terrible and horrible and awful with ZERO subtlety and nuance at all. JESUS.

i hate this book. with such great fervor.

you deserve every single thing that's going to happen to you when shit hits the fan.

uuuuuuuUGHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh WHO NEEDS SUBTLETY AND SLOW BURN ROMANCES IN A BOOK LIKE THIS?! :D

that was fast. 🙄

then WHY ARE YOU LETTING HER

you said it, i didn't.

uh yeah, hi, ethan? your dad wanted literally the exact same thing with her. just because you don't want to lock her up and rape her doesn't mean that your intentions aren't JUST AS FUCKED UP. you're a fucking idiot.
