Lori’s Notes & Highlights

The Grip of It by Jac Jemc

9 notes & 18 highlights

like me, he is excited about the secret passages, this being one of the places where we are seamed together, just one instance where we twist in the same spot, mirroring each other and meshing at once.

A sameness, of one mind -ness, that's sweet but foreboding. Can this be foreshadowing already?

The Glister: A Novel
