I love this book so, so much. Everything about it - and I am listening to the audiobook, which is usually not my favorite way to consume books. I am going to have to buy a copy, because I need to annotate this, which is also not something I often feel the need to do. I am not sure what is left to discuss at this point of the book, since a lot of the conflict feels resolved, but I find that I am not eager for the end. I want it to keep going!

I know that we don't read crime thrillers for a taste of *accurate* realism, but there's a threshold to the level of suspension of disbelief that I feel like this book has just hurtled across with reckless abandon. As I progress through it, I feel like I'm trapped in that esurance commercial: that's not how this works! That's not how any of this works! From the machinations of all the many tentacles of this outlandish investigation process to Sarah actually physically striking the receptionist and just... getting away with it? The fact that Eleanor is such a parody of a human being seems almost the least offensive thing about it.

he remembers her!!!!!! i teared up so badly when she realised 😭

Do NOT like the writing of this.

can this man talk about anything but how he's so upset because katniss doesn't love him back like they haven't had a conversation about ANYTHING ELSE since probably the first book. GIVE MY GIRL A BREAK AND MAYBE FORM A PROPER CONNECTION WITH HER AND *THEN* SHE MIGHT START TO LIKE YOU??????

Actually I'm not ready- why do i do this to myself 😭😭

A horror story centered around contamination OCD ? 😅
