Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The CIA should hire women in their fifties,” Lydia says. “We’re invisible.”
Cash loves his brother, in theory. In practice, he can’t stand the guy.
She needs someone to love her, clothe her, feed her, teach her right from wrong, someone to set limits and provide opportunities, someone to believe in her and be her champion. And that person will be Huck. He will be her Unconditional. He will be her No Matter What.
One thing Irene has learned in her fifty-seven years is that no matter how hideous something seems at first, with the passing of time comes habituation and then acceptance. What Irene is living through now is abhorrent. But the world is filled with deceptions and betrayals—nearly every life has one—and yet the sun still rises and sets, the world continues on.
Maybe it’s simply one of the unsolved mysteries of human nature: how two siblings, born of the same parents and raised in the same house, can be complete opposites.
It’s newly astonishing to Irene that as much as we know about the world, we still can’t see into another person’s mind or heart.
Secrets become lies, and lies end up destroying you and everyone you care about.”
