 jay, dearest. therapy would have been easier <3 

this poor kid and his grief over a terrible man. and then in a terrible situation comes to the wrong conclusion????? his dad fucking SUCKED dude like dude your dad is not a whale you are desperately trying to make sense of a bad situation and your dad DID suck even though you did love him and he is not a whale!!!!

i had some additional thoughts of the "reading WAY too far into things and interpreting them wildly different than i think they were intended" way but they will stay locked with me.

should i read hatchet 2: he hatchets again 

secret additional review update for storygraph only and not goodreads that is not a plot spoiler at all:

my date read tags are accurate, but i need to clarify: i read this in one go on a worknight. yes i work labor day
