mcctrish What to do, what to do? I love how Stephen is mad at Maggie #whatamaroon 17h

Ruthiella I feel like Stephen crossed a line there by showing up and it makes me mad. He‘s putting Maggie in a bad situation-one he can walk away from as a man, but she as a woman cannot live down. She will be unfairly judged either way. 15h

mcctrish @Ruthiella and it‘s not the first time either 🤬 Phillip has noticed and he isn‘t blameless either #tomisgoingtolosehisshit #andstillblamemaggie 15h

TheAromaofBooks Side note, still trying to figure out why the heck Tom is the most important person in Maggie's life. Let's make all our decisions based on what the judgmental jerk who treats you like trash will think 🙄 15h

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!! I mean how close do you have to stay with your mean brother? She needs to choose her own family. 15h

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I agree and it is frustrating. I think Eliot is telling us that Maggie‘s bond with her brother is stronger than any other ( other than to her father, now deceased). 15h

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks YES!! Granted the rest of that family would side with him if he tells them to, but Maggie has proven that she can survive on her own. Gritty is the only one who makes sense in this book. 14h

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks women just being programmed by the patriarchy to do what the men in the family say ( Maggie needs Tom more than he needs her ) 14h

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk she totally has proven she can survive on her own 14h

dabbe The Stephen-Maggie thing has RUTH vibes all over it. Don't give in, Maggie! If only it were the 2020s! 😱 14h

Clare-Dragonfly Ugh! I am SO mad at Stephen now! How dare he show up and tell her she has to talk to him because his poor little manly fee-fees are hurt. How dare he blame her for him riding thirty miles a day about it. Get over yourself, dude. 😡😡😡😡🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 8h

Bookwormjillk Lucy is so dumb!!! She's going to mess everything up. Ugh. 5d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I just think the world revolves around Lucy so despite her telling her dad she‘s a smarty, she is clueless also Stephen is toxic 5d

See All 8 Comments

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish yup, a toxic man playing toxic games 5d

dabbe At first, the original love triangle reminded me of the one in THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. Now with Philip, I'm like 😳. I think we're headed for a fall. 4d

ElizaMarie I am not into this Stephen dude- he is gonna cause so much trouble 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t totally blame Stephen for not acting well—his attraction to Maggie is pretty new and he doesn‘t know what to do with it. But I sure hope he shapes up soon and realizes he has to make a choice! (Or preferably leave them both alone because picking one is definitely going to cause drama.) 4d

Leftcoastzen Kind of a mixed up situation! I agree Lucy is clueless.Lots of potential for heartache and hurt feelings here . 4d

Leftcoastzen Doesn‘t take a lot of thought to wonder since father fought with Wakem & Wakem owns the property they may get turned out. Tom did the hard work to earn the money to pay the debt . And this is his reward? Tully just had to fight to his own detriment 😡 2w

Bookwormjillk Ugh. Fricken #TetchyTully 2w

ElizaMarie Wow! Okay, so I kinda felt blindsided with this. I mean the fight was coming, we know that, but... to have been so worked up that he ups and dies! And of course his #PigHeadedness totally screws his family over. Not to speak ill about the dead but... Talk about #DadOfTheYear 2w

Clare-Dragonfly Jeez! I wonder if I‘d feel differently if we‘d actually seen depictions of how Wakem treats #tetchytully as his employee over the years but as it is… Tully is a freaking idiot jerk. 2w

eeclayton @barkingmadread lovely image choice for today 😍 2w

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton thank you! Pops kept mentioning that Tim should save the mill, so I thought it would be a good pic for the chapter! 2w

Leftcoastzen I just feel Tully is always upset because he‘s not rich , he has just enough money to worry about it . Diverting water from the mill threatens his livelihood. He doesn‘t have enough money to be connected as to advice, is this a good educator? Is this a good lawyer. 1mo

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks thank you for saying that I wholeheartedly agree! 3mo

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. 😣 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin everything about this chapter made me want to scream 🤣 3mo

Bookwormjillk Usually I‘m annoyed with her but firmly on Team Ester in this chapter. Was that jerk happy she broke her leg?? 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally got that vibe, like he was glad to be able to do some doctoring 🙄 3mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk seemed like a metaphor for breaking her, now doesn‘t get to run away!!! 3mo

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) 3mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I read it twice and couldn‘t figure out who stepped in front of her 3mo

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) 3mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish good clue 3mo

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. 3mo

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! 😂 3mo

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! 3mo

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. 3mo
