Asked and answered!

I thought George said he wasn’t going beyond the county line.

I’m confused. Clementine is doing the Walkers a small favor by asking a big favor from one of her acquaintances.

Didn’t I just read a book the other day with the same trope? The virtous knight resists temptation or the celibate hero.

Cool. Cool. With friends like Mildred, who needs enemies?

Why did I think Wade Webler and Ted Morton were the same person?

Ugh. This is the same as those kids in horror movies going to go check on the noise. In literature, nothing good comes from waiting until first light.

Author explains what happens when a racist is in charge of the police.

Hah, ok, author. — “The news regarding Sheriff Clay was unexpected.”

George dismisses the only good option.

Wait, George has been in the bath for an hour and it’s still steaming? Also, when and how did he boil the water?

Suddenly Caleb is assertive.

To be this ignorant, Caleb must be from a different era or something.

At the 35% mark, George now has a mission and a goal. This sounds like we are entering the second Act.

Isabelle confuses me sometimes. Maybe this is the post-caleb transformation she told us about. - “If you could just treat me as you treat George and Caleb. As if I was no different.”

Sure, Mildred and Isabelle laugh off her social suicide like this is a Jane Austen movie.

I can’t tell if Isabelle believe this bs or not. — “And he has done nothing, since the day he entered my life, but follow his passions….”

Interesting belief. — “…but were stronger at heart, able to store away the thoughts that were useless and continue on as if they did not exist.”

Sorry, when did we establish that Caleb had been about town gathering gossip? — “It’s becoming the talk of the town. Folks say cruel things behind his back.”

Ugh. Every book I’ve read in the past six-months, maybe even twelve months, has had a main character with blue eyes.

Well. This story has gone through a transformation.

I’m curious about the authors use of indirect dialogue instead of direct dialogue.

Let me guess, Mr. Morton isn’t going to take this project too kindly.

So. Two destitute families find each other.

And we’re still in the Act 1 introductions.

Hmmmm. I think i would have liked to never have known the author of the list instead.

Yay. Since the start I was saying, “go to a psychologist…it’s 2022…”

I don’t know. Seeing people who aren’t there, fictional or not, is more alarming than romantic to me.

This sudden plan for a Library day feels like a different story. What a sharp turn! Did the author suddenly need a goal to finish the story with?

It was a hard book to start. I was confused on who was who and what was the conflict. There was no conflict or tension for a few chapters and it was hard reading.
