Oh, 🤮 barf emoji
That weird “her heart remembered who she was” ending was just the cherry on top of a plot I had already been scowling at.
I love this series, this character, this author- usually. Barr writes edge-of-your-seat plots, Anna is both capable and perceptive, and the park setting was sufficiently snowy and survivalist. But the “it’s the 90s” excuse wand I’ve been waving for the earlier books is getting heavier to lift. like marijuana as a reason to die/ murder/ torture? And did Barr do all the AIDS research for this book by watching one made-for-tv movie from 1986?
So many of Anna’s folksy “well, that’s just how I see it” observations about the world are just coming off as a grumpy old lady not really understanding anything at all.
Still, I liked the snowy survival fight parts of the book.
