Lila’s internal monologue was very heartfelt and honest.

Speech about sons was tough to read

It feels like a funeral Mary thought. It was so undeniable like death was-bright enough to scald your eyes, cool enough to go through your coat and your sweater and raise goosebumps along your skin.

Arguments for and against returning.

All of the women in the world come back but only if all of the Dooling women decide to come back. The women in this town stand for all women.

Haha! When Frank asks Evie who’s in charge of the rodeo, she says “Do you mean the Great Lesbian in the sky? A short, heavyset deity wearing a mauve pantsuit and sensible shoes? Isn’t that the image most men get when they think a woman is trying to run their lives?”

Good dialogue by Evie saying who she is and who she isn’t. To kill Evie or not to kill Evie...that is the question and a test.

Why doesn’t Clint just lock Evie up in the bulletproof tollbooth where the visitors check in? Why doesn’t he outfit her head to toe I police riot gear? Things I’m thinking while reading about this war that’s about to begin

Evie tells Clint to let her die so the women can live in their new world and choose the way their world is. Clint counters and says it’s lives that Evie chose for them.
