TW: Abuse.

It was nice of Patch to help Bea with something that she needs help with. She seems somewhat smitten with him.

I saw Darren's name in the next chapter. All I can say about that is: shit, shit, SHIT. I'm going to hold off on reading that chapter because I'm not in the mood to read about Darren being terrible and/or abusive. 😔

'But there’s a difference between caring and listening. He doesn’t listen.'

I love this quote because I agree with it wholeheartedly. This dialogue made me feel bad for Patch, though, since his father doesn't listen to him. I can relate to that feeling for sure. 😞

Definitely gonna write in this format one day.

I really love the depth and the development in Ezra and Terrence's romantic relationship. It's beautifully written.

I'm not sure why this book has an overall rating of 3.84 stars on this website. I'm enjoying it so much. 😊

I understand why Bea and Ezra are very upset with a particular character, considering that he lied to Bea. 😑😔

I cried because I am starting to realize that to love someone, to really love them deeply, is to want them to be family.

I'm in awe of David Levithan's fantastic writing rn. ❤❤

Poor Ezra is processing so much heavy and surreal information in his fictional life at the moment. 😣

I read a plot twist that I should've been able to predict but I didn't predict it. Oh, well. Lol!! 😆

I'm curious to see how Ezra will react to the "crap bomb" that's been dropped on him. 🤔

Welp, reading about Sloane's perspective on Bea's mistakes was a *LOT* to take in. Sloane was merciless about Bea during her conversation Ezra. I don't think she (meaning Sloane) understood Bea or the hardships in her life. 😣

I was very bad because I skipped/read ahead. 😌 I know spoilers about Mystery Guy, specifically his identity.

It was only on the way home that I thought—we say this all the time, but who the hell really wants to be left entirely alone?

This is true. But I really hate the feeling of being lonely, so this passage resonates with me a lot.

Awww, I loved Ezra's pep talk to Bea!! It was so meaningful and heartwarming. 😊❤

Being our father is not an automatic position—it has to be earned.

This is an excellent point from Ezra and I agree with him completely.

Everyone thinks I ran away from home when I’m actually running toward it.

I get why this line has been quoted a lot because it's a great line, especially now that I understand the context behind it. This line is very fitting for the situation that Bea is currently involved in.

I was right about how Joe is being an asshole to Ezra. 😡😣 Goodness gracious!!

Ezra defaced a picture of Darren in a way that was both immature and funny. 😆

I understand why Joe is so curious wrt Bea's whereabouts, but he needs to respect that Ezra doesn't want to give him that information.

Joe is being an asshole to Ezra. 😤

It was very sweet of Bea to tell Ezra that he's the best part of her. 😊❤️

I'm glad that Bea owned up to her mistakes. She's showing character development.

Things are looking up for Bea in some ways, but in other ways not so much.

I still don't trust Mystery Guy.

I hope that Ezra and Terrence will get their relationship back on track; Ezra isn't being evasive because he can't trust Terrence. And he (meaning Terrence) doesn't understand that. 😔

It looks like Bea wasn't physically harmed by the Mystery Guy after all. But I get the impression that he harmed her emotionally.

Hurt puts your pride on the line, and I know the damage that can cause.

This is true and relatable.

Bea made it clear to Ezra that Jessica Wei had empathy and compassion for him because she experienced abuse in her family too.

I like that Bea feels hopeful in her new life especially after she endured so much abuse.

The fact that she's meeting Mystery Guy sounds like it could be a safety concern since she's meeting a strange guy. 😯
