Kindle Notes & Highlights
he’d discovered yesterday outside the construction site next door. He’d googled the development, and as he’d suspected, having never seen a builder at work on it, confirmed that it had run out of money and building works had been suspended while the developers looked for a new investor.
WAIT MARK IS STILL ALIVE THEN CUZ OF THE FLASHING LIGHTS!! AHHH MAKES SENSE
“No, you may not. Question one: What the actual fuck? I mean… you drowned.” “Clearly I didn’t.”
LOL “clearly I didn’t” THE AUDACITY THIS MARK GOT IS CRAZYY
“I don’t give a fuck what happened to you. What happened to Kirsty? If you got out alive, then what happened to her?”
Frrrr like ain’t nobody care about u mark except Lilly but still u suck
He waited until it went silent and then he turned to face Mark. He was smiling at him, smugly, like a car salesman about to close a deal on an unsellable car. “Come on, Graham. Let me go.” Red heat descended upon Gray. His vision blurred. His body shook. He lunged toward Mark with his arms outstretched.
Welp lessened learned mark don’t get arrogant with someone who has a knife….
She is reminded once again that the man she found on the beach last week was not a man at all, just an empty box in which to put whatever she wanted.
Kirsty would have met a man who wasn’t mentally ill, and Gray would have had a niece or a nephew, a brother-in-law. He may even have had a wife of his own, a child or two. His mother would have dealt with her empty nest like a normal human being instead of an anxiety-ridden lunatic. His father would have grown older and greyer and they would have been normal and boring and perfect forever and ever. It was all his fault. All of it. All of it.
Awww ur a little right following a stalker to a party was obv a bad idea but u can’t control the future 🤷🏽♀️
“I remembered,” he says. “I strangled him. I strangled him and he’s dead.” “Fuck.” She pauses. “Are you sure?” “As sure as I can be about anything.”
Bruhhh OH WELL MARK DESERVED DEATH SOOO LILLY FIND A NEW MANS 🙄
Alice catches up with the others. “Frank remembers,” she says heavily. “Mark’s dead. Frank says he killed him.” There is a sharp and terrible beat of silence before Derry breaks it by saying, “Well, high-five, Frank. The fucker totally had it coming.”
FRRRR WWW DERRY I LIKE HER NOW WWWWWWW MARK DEADDD YEEEEE but kristy i hope she alive
scared to hear things that will make her hate Carl. Because she doesn’t hate Carl. She knows she should, but she doesn’t. She doesn’t hate him at all.
Screw u Lilly honestly u U ARE EVIL TO NOT HATE MARK HE TORTURED GRAY AND KRISTY!!! HOW CAN U NOT HATE HIM!?!?!?
Finally Lily turns to Frank and says, “So, you thought you had killed him?” He looks at her as though he had forgotten she was there. Then he nods. “Yes,” he says simply. “I did.” He turns away from her and looks at his hands. “The man you love is a monster,” he adds quietly. “But still,” she says. “You tried to kill him. You left him there for dead. What does that make you?” Frank sighs. There is silence for a moment, but for the distant sound of seagulls, the scratch of small birds in the hedgerow, the song of a chaffinch looking down upon them from the treetops. “It makes me wrong,” he

Ok Lilly square up HOW IS GRAY A MONSTER DID U NOT HEAR THE STORY OR IS THAT ALL U CARE ABOUT A MONSTER NAMED MARK!?!?! SELFISH
“And you didn’t call an ambulance?” The tendons on Frank’s neck are tight with rage. “You didn’t—” “He put a knife to my throat.”
Oh shit wow WOW OK WOW…. THE PERSON WHO TOOK CARE OF U WHEN UR PARENTS DIDNT CARE ABOUT U AND SHE CARED FOR U AND PUT A FREAKING KNIFE TO HER THROAT!?!??!?!
“She was alive. Yes. She was.” “Did you… did you try to resuscitate her?” “He wouldn’t let me.” “And she died? Yes?” Tears have turned Kitty’s eyes to glass. She nods, just once. “Very soon afterward. Before we were halfway home.”
KILL MARK KILL MARK KILL MARK KILL MARK KILL MARK JUSTICE FOR KRISTY JUSTICE FOR KRISTY LIKE SHE WAS ALIVE!!!!! WOWW
Not because I’m heartless. Because, I promise you this, my heart has not stopped hurting since the night your sister died. Not for one moment.”
Good. But it shouldn’t be u suffering. MARK MARK MARK MARK MARK DEATHH
“So,” she says, “tell me. What was it about Mark that you fell in love with?” Lily shrugs. The question is not meant to be friendly. The question she is really asking is, How could you have chosen such a monster to be your husband?
Fr tho why out of all people MARK….. HE DESERVES DEATH
And then Alice patiently recounts a story that is so sad and so horrifying and so dark, yet so believable, that Lily almost forgets that she is talking about the man she married. About halfway through, she already knows what she needs to do next. By the time Alice has finished the story she already has her phone in her hand. It is over. Her love affair. Her marriage. Her adventure. Her love for a man she never really knew.
LESSS GOO LILLY WWWW IM GLAD WAS ABOUTA SQUARE UP WITH U TRYNA DEFEND A MURDER BUT NOW I RESPECT U
About how you needed to see the worst of a person before you could decide to share your life with them.
She rests her phone on the table and feels her heart break in two.
IT OK WE CAN BUILD UP UR HEART AGAIN WITH A BETTER MAN
And then… silence. Her calls stopped going through. It was the sound, she now knew, not of a displaced wolf but of Graham Ross throwing her husband’s phone against the cooker hood, just before he tried to strangle him to death. It was the sound of a tortured man finally acknowledging his pain. She’d heard it and she’d buried it, deep inside her subconscious.
WWWWWW
“Don’t make promises,” she says, “just do what you can do. Just be what you can be. However flawed that it is. I have very low standards,” she jokes. “I swear, I’ll go with anyone.”
LOLL SHE GOT LOW STANDARDS SINCE SHE CAN NEVER GET A HOOK ON A MAN LOLL
“I’ll see you on the other side,” says Frank. “I’ll be waiting,” says Alice. And then the screen goes blank.

“Because you wouldn’t have brought something unless it came from your heart. And your pictures come from your heart.
They talk like old friends who once went on a remarkable journey together and have no one else with whom to share the memories.
He is the one who has been broken and glued back together again.
Give her the history she never had. Make something real.”
She’d been acting the role of the scary woman for years because deep down inside she was scared. Scared of being alone. Scared of being an outsider. Scared that she’d had all her chances at happiness and blown each and every one of them.
