Wow, Mr. Curtis! That opening line was an absolute killer. Other stand-outs: "That Kathryn was still in there somewhere, but she'd gotten quieter with every move, every goodbye." "Kathryn, the relationship assassin, always knew when to pull out the knife—and more importantly, where to put it." This woman is a mess. And it has messed with her boy. I wonder who he will turn into?
This was deeply nostalgic for me. From retreating into sound waves (often the very songs you've listed here), right down to the constant moving from town to town, it all transported me to a very specific time in my life. Really enjoying this so far, J! Looking forward to reading the rest!
Absolutely brilliant writing. The descriptions of Kathryn, and George's idea of what a bedroom should be - so real, so good.
Love the pacing! Great start.
Thanks Stephanie!
You have skillfully set the stage in this chapter, J. On to moving day.
Thanks KC!
This is wonderful!
Thanks Liz!
Enjoyed this, J! I can tell it's going to be a great book!
Thank you! We’re just getting started.

Thanks Sharron. She’s become quite the piece of work.
Yes! Excited to journey with George to this Island!
great J keep going.
Enticing and intriguing.
I loved the unfolding of George’s current life and his observations of his world!
Thanks CB! The rock is slowly rolling
