Status Updates From Leaving Time

“I think grief is like a really ugly couch. It never goes away. You can decorate around it; you can slap a doily on top of it; you can push it in the corner of the room—but eventually, you learn to live with it.”

I’m still not particularly enjoying this story. To me, there’s too much talk about elephants and the “mystery” seems drawn out with no momentum to push it to be exciting or interesting. Almost 200 pages later and we are still rambling on about how cool elephants are and how sad it is that Jenna’s mom Alice is missing. 😴😴
