Bookwormjillk I don‘t think he was wrong though about the rabbits? Oh well. 3mo
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk definitely not wrong! 3mo

dabbe I worry about Maggie. She ignores the rabbits and lets them starve to death and takes out her aggressions by stabbing a doll voodoo-style while in the attic. This can not bode well for her psyche. And Tom loving-hating her within minutes. Granted, what she did to the rabbits was awful, but still. 3mo
Bklover @Bookwormjillk @dabbe You‘re right about the rabbits. I‘m even mad at her for that! But I hate all of this “I won‘t love you anymore”. Even mom says it. Anyway. I just wanted to mention the last sentence of the chapter is gorgeous! It‘s the narrator speaking about childhood memories. 3mo
BarkingMadRead @Bklover the writing is just beautiful! 3mo
dabbe @Bklover 🤩😍🤗 3mo
Morr_Books I may have an unpopular view, but I'm kinda on team Tom... for this chapter. 3mo
ElizaMarie AND the mom quickly again goes to Maggie Drowned! What is with the drowning, maybe her momma lost her sister to drowning. Or do people just up and drown all the time? Is drowning the new boogieman? 3mo
BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie I really hope we get some clarity on this, I need me a good backstory! 3mo
mcctrish @Morr_Books I‘m team Tom too! He asked 2 people to check on his rabbits and they both let him down 👎🏻👎🏻 and he‘s not allowed to be upset ( mom is a bit theatrical with the drowning ) 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly @ElizaMarie I think it‘s just because they live close to a river, but maybe there is something… 3mo
ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly Oo that makes more sense than it being something more nefarious. 3mo
Leftcoastzen Why doesn‘t mom just say stay away from the river ! If my mom said stay away from the river , she would have told me why , and I would have stayed away from the river ! 😁 3mo
Leftcoastzen I was miffed everyone let Tom down as well , it was a simple ask , Maggie is young but should have been able to look after a couple of rabbits. The parents don‘t look after her , I know people had plenty of work in those days. 3mo
