I’m almost 90% of the way through this book, and I’m still trying to figure out what the fuck is going on or if I even care. 😂

“With the force of a great typhoon” - anyone else start singing Mulan? No? Just me? Okay.

Shit's about to get WILD.

Hoping to finish this by the end of the week. It's so good!!!

Ahhh I want to know what the Thunderhead is building! Such a tease!

Shit got real, but I'm not even surprised!

Buddy reading this with Andi and Leah! They already flew through it, so I need to catch up! lol

“Innocence is doomed to die a senseless death at our own hands, a casualty of the mistakes we can never undo.”

“Human nature is both predictable and mysterious; prone to great and sudden advances, yet still mired in despicable self-interest.”

This reads so quickly. Hoping to finish it this weekend. 🙂

Flew through over 100 pages of this last night. It’s good!

Hopefully I can finish this today. Feeling motivated after my long reading slump!

"Dennis! For the love of Tostitos!" Listen, I miss S.T. Glad to be back in his story after a loooooong slump.

“Being with people was easy, but being alone was hard. Especially being alone in the dark. The person who could truly be alone, in the company of no one but oneself and one’s own thoughts – that person was stronger than anyone else. More ready. More prepared.”

“Waiting… Waiting… That’s what women do. We wait for him to get home, we wait for him to pay attention to us, wait to be treated fairly - for our worth to be seen and acknowledged. Life is just a waiting game for women.”

“But now I see the truth: women are stuck in a cycle of insecurity perpetuated by the way men treat them, and we are constantly fighting to prove to ourselves and everyone else that we are okay.”

“I tell myself for the one hundredth time that there’s still a chance, that I can’t give up. But hope is a fleeting thing when met with repeated failure.”

Definitely picked this up as a mood read. Do I have a planned TBR? Yes. Do I care? Not really. 🙃

Patrick is a right douche, isn’t he?

Wow.

I’m glad this is picking up again.

This is really good. Enjoying the audio too.
