A fascinating story. Loved the mystery and figuring out how they were going to handle everything. Not necessarily loveable characters (rather annoying), but at least they could be interesting on occasion

3.5 — “then carol slipped her arm under her neck, and all the length of their bodies touched fitting as if something had prearranged it. ... why did people talk of heaven, she wondered.”

objectively well written, just kinda not for me. some really strong lines and prose though!

didn’t click w the characters super well, although at least I was rooting for them to succeed LOL. just got kinda bored… best part is definitely their trip, but it feels so short lived comparatively :(
