buddy read with Hannah (@modernmissgranger on IG)
- Ben... Even though we know from the beginning (and the blurb) that he has died before book begins, my heart still went on such an emotional roller coaster (especially his birthday card to Sage, iykyk). He was honestly my favorite character and it WRECKED me knowing how his story ended.
- Jeremiah and Ben's friendship was my favorite part of the whole story!
- The double-up of Jeremiah's journals + his prose writing about that journal felt a bit redundant.
- This may just be a personal thing buuuut I have never used an ellipses (...) in a snail mail, so it felt a bit much to see them on almost every page haha.
- I am an ASL interpreter and I felt that Sage's ASL school journey was a bit unrealistic, even though she is more of a side character. After the Milan conference of 1880, the oralist method was chosen as educational priority over sign langauge, so ASL programs were not available in higher education (let alone high schools), until the first asl program in a college in the us in the 1980s. In the beginning of the story, Sage's goal was to be an interpreter and then in the last quarter, one of Lucy's letters says she has always wanted to become an ASL teacher?
