So, I liked some of it.
I am a social worker. Cabel clearly has PTSD. He’s confused/scared how to fully love, fine. I understand. BUT.
You’re just gonna ignore your girlfriend and act like an ass because she *could* have been raped/hurt/whatever else after something traumatic happened to her? She got drugged and sexually assaulted/violated and you’re like “aw man idk if I can deal with this” ? Fuck you, guy. Liked you a lot up until that, now I’m a tad soured on him.
I also don’t have an answer to where/how/why “dream catching” happens. Is it a gene? Is it magic? Hereditary? Like, it just manifests randomly for no rhyme or reason in anyone, which makes it less believeable (I know it’s a fantasy/YA/fiction but still). Also I get the entries follow actual thought processes and stuff but some of it is still so choppy.
Regardless, I did enjoy enough to read in its entirety, and feel anger and other emotions about the bust on the teachers and Janie finding out she’ll deteriorate fast.
