Lunchtime reading in the library garden ❤️️

Been meaning to read this book since it came out last year. Finally getting started.

While the writing isn't exactly spectacular, the story was crazy good. Read it in one sitting... Well, two with a nap in between.. But I was still in the same spot when I resumed reading. Counts as one sitting? Anyway. Suspenseful, well-thought out. Characters you can get behind. If you're thinking about reading, do it.

Halfway through this giant book. Lovely breeze in the park shade cuts this 90degree heat nicely.

So excited to have a copy without missing pages!

"All that time I had spent readying myself, the articles that taught me life was really just a waiting room until someone noticed you -- the boys had spent that time becoming themselves."

Good thing I have a backup book with me.

Anyone else missing pages 281-312?? How am I supposed to go on with this book?!

Unsure of my feelings towards this book at 74 pages in.

Some peace in the library garden.
