BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks seriously! She‘s an asshole magnet 🤣 6d
Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks thank you for saying that I wholeheartedly agree! 6d
Cuilin The line let me fly with you would have been very sweet and cute if the question had not been “how would you like to be Mrs. Buddy Willard?” and completely erasing her. 😣 6d
BarkingMadRead @Cuilin everything about this chapter made me want to scream 🤣 6d
Bookwormjillk Usually I‘m annoyed with her but firmly on Team Ester in this chapter. Was that jerk happy she broke her leg?? 6d
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally got that vibe, like he was glad to be able to do some doctoring 🙄 6d
Cuilin @Bookwormjillk seemed like a metaphor for breaking her, now doesn‘t get to run away!!! 6d
mcctrish First how does one get well in such an absolutely disgusting sounding place, second who the hell trusts someone to teach them to ski who doesn‘t know how?! Who stepped in front of her? Buddy? Honest to god Ester, stay away from this dumbass (edited) 6d
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I read it twice and couldn‘t figure out who stepped in front of her 5d
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it was the man saying “you were doing fine until the guy stepped in your path” not skied, stepped made me think it was Buddy (edited) 5d
willaful I was kind of caught in wondering why Esther seemed more upset about Buddy's hypocrisy than about what happened in this chapter. But maybe she's letting herself realize things slowly because they're so freaking awful. 5d
Clare-Dragonfly Wow, Buddy is an idiot! He shakes her hand when she comes in, tries to give her an ashtray he made, and then asks her to marry him in the most unromantic way possible?! Not to mention the skiing failure. Esther said in the last chapter that she broke her own leg but Buddy clearly broke it! 😂 5d
CogsOfEncouragement I‘m enjoying the reading and all of your comments. This is my first time reading, and I‘m glad I‘m among friends to do so! 5d
ElizaMarie Ugh!!! Buddy Buddy Buddy —- He is such a pompous man. 5d
AnishaInkspill @BarkingMadRead thanks for tagging me into these posts, this is brilliant as I don't have the to read this this year but i could never get tired of reading this and what always comes to mind is Esther's dry wit. 5d
DieAReader @TheAromaofBooks 💖I thought I was alone in not liking anyone😂 5d
dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement 🩶💚🩶 5d
dabbe This part teared me up: “I felt my lungs inflate with the inrush of scenery--air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, 'This is what it is to be happy.' I plummeted down past the zigzaggers, the students, the experts, through year after year of doubleness and smiles and compromise, into my own past.“

Wow, can she write.

So, I'm seriously rethinking the two Simmons books on my TBR, the last two books in the Hyperion series, after reading his tweet completely bashing a 16 yr old girl. The thought of a 72 year old "man" cyber bullying a child just boils my blood. #Magathugs #Magabullies #jerk

”You‘re an asshole, sir.” #Jerk #QuotsyJune19 More of an acknowledgment, really, but I thought of this for #BestDedications #Riotgrams @bookriot

No, he was just letting me stew with this show of deliberation. #Jerk. To think I‘d believed all of his sweetness and light for so long. I really needed to bang my head against a brick wall at the earliest opportunity. Try and knock some sense into myself. #QuotsyJune19

“Yeah. Yeah, that‘s right. Pregnant woman. Gunned her down. Bang. And y‘know what? You watched me. You coulda changed the gun into steam or the bullets into mercury or the bottle into god damn snowflakes! You coulda teleported either of us to goddamn Australia...but you didn‘t lift a finger! You don‘t really give a damn about human beings.”
