["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”

“June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”

“Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]

On December 4, 2021, an attempt is made on President Ellen Claremont's life.

Alex gets shot instead.

Bookmarker's Notes:

Friends, if my experience is any indication of how you might experience this fabulously crafted work, before you begin I recommend hydrating + grabbing Kleenex. LOVE the author's premise: "RWRB is fantastic, i love them all. So, obviously, i've put them in a horrible situation. Because I love them." LOVED how she executed exactly this. 

I sniffled, wept + sobbed outright several times. Also HOWLED at a certain point (cough : Ch 3) which was exceedingly well timed. Through it all I admired how each character's essential selves sparkled in this story. Absolutely LOVED the addition of Abuela y Abuelo Diaz among the cast of characters. I will say no more because you, Dear Reader, deserve all.the.thrills and chills of this wild ride.
