i am fully throwing my partner under the bus to say it’s not my fault this is taking so long 😭 we are buddy reading

when i read the chapter and lee was first introduced my jaw dropped bc what the actual fuck. JAIL. but then i read on and exhaled a sigh of relief. iykyk. also i know cathy is not exactly a good person but my god adam is such a dumbass

the way steinbeck portrays sibling relationships is so accurate lmaoo i love how charles and adam go from one damn near beating the other to death to both being petty and bickering as grown men living together
