I took my kid on a road trip once. it was supposed to be short. just a four hour drive. but we got caught in a winter storm on the way. it ended up taking twelve hours. I remember constantly looking down at my GPS and doing math. "I'm supposed to be on this road for twenty miles. it's only supposed to be fifteen minutes, but I have to go slow. an hour. just one hour of this road. just one hour."
I would repeat that myself over and over silently to keep calm. I couldn't pull off anywhere. I just had to keep going. and keep telling my kid everything was going to be okay.
this book is like that fear. you can't stop. you can't go back. you just have to keep moving forward. even if you don't want to. even if you just want to go home. even when you want someone else to be in charge.
just. keep. moving.
absolutely horrifying. the best scary Alice retelling I've ever read, even if it wasn't meant to be that.
