“…I kept trying to think how best to break it to them, wondering if they would blame me for not keeping a tighter hold on Ruffian…” Honey, it wasn’t about a tighter grip: you straight up threw his leash down and told him to go. (Lord, but she’s an odd character.)

I’ve noted some tonal missteps and inconsistencies in this book but not bothered about it too much until Bert says this thing about him and Evie having a lot of foster kids over the years; this on top of similar comments to this effect. But when they were introduced in the first book, it said they were too old to adopt and “hadn’t even had much luck getting their hands on a foster child until me.“ So no.

According to Goodreads, I have read 4444 books. Hello Number 4445.
