Rape! Wtf, and she's getting over it by snogging Liam, which makes sense in a twisted kinda way I suppose

Why has Clancy suddenly gone from bestest friend to dick in less than one chapter?

“Pilgrims?” he continued. “What are those? How about you, Jamie? Do you remember who the Pilgrims were?” A girl about Zu’s age sat straight up. “People in England were being mean to them because of their religion, so they sailed to America and landed at Plymouth Rock.”

And she's absolutely fine with him just waltzing into her mind. I can kinda see the romance working in that she's pretty in a battered world and he's the first guy she's ever really known. Beach Boys reference.

Wait, so she's keeping the tracker with her and thinking that just because they told her it's inert that it really is? How stupid is she... Also total heartbreak at abandoning a car. If petrol is so expensive then how come is so easy to come by, in every abandoned car, you'd think they would have driven til it ran out, not just... Abandoned it in the middle of the motorway and... Walked home?

Bob Dylan, at least she's finally stopped hiding her relatively harmless power

Elton John now

Derek and the Domino's?

I have an awesome psychic power... The power of... Backstory!

Sigh, and female protagonist submissive to the alpha male syndrome starts, SA YA topic you have lied to me :(

Here we go with the hamhanded romance

The Who, copious quoting of lyrics.

Who the hell are the allman brothers

She knows all the members of The Doors too

Jesus, watership down is not good bedtime reading for the 9 and under

She seems to get /make an awful lot of references for somebody who's been in a concentration camp since she was 10

Fucks sake.

Oh she needs to sleep *randomly stabs with magic-miracle-morphine* No looking for a vein, no warning, no offer to let her go to sleep on her own, just sudden STAB MORPHINE YOU'RE ASLEEP BAM YOU'RE AWAKE AGAIN HAVING SLEPT AWESOMELY WITH NONE OF THE ILL EFFECTS AND NO SENSE OF VIOLATION!

Patient with a serious head injury comes too, Jared knocks him about again within moments, doctor smiles ruefully and says "well a few more minutes of unconsciousness won't kill him"

What the hell.

Sorta liking this so far, as long as I don't look too closely at it. But good lord girl, get over yourself. And ditch your abusive husband, you knew him what, a month? He's beat three shades of shit out of you each time you meet but still you WUV HIM so it's ok!

Whoops, looked too closely again.

Reminds me a lot of "The Death of Bunny Monroe" so far, not surprising, as he does list Martin Amis as one of his influences.

I've never had to stop reading a book before because it's made me cry. I've had books make me sad, yes, but never before have I had to stop because I can't see through the tears...

Been rather distracted. :D
