DebinHawaii I‘ve kept up with the reading but not so much on the posts so I don‘t know if it‘s been said already but #allofthesecharactersannoythehelloutofme and #idontwanttoholidayinitalywithanyofthesepeople That is all! 😂 3mo
Ruthiella I wonder really who‘s companionship Sydney desires more? I think probably Mrs. Kerr, if she‘s honest. I also can‘t see her as a pastor‘s wife. 3mo

BarkingMadRead @DebinHawaii 🤣🤣🤣 3mo
mcctrish I honestly need to read this book just before you post because if I spread out my reading to far from our chatting all I remember is being confused! Kerr speaks in switchback, she says one thing, Milton in this case responds, she replies in opposite half the time and then goes off on a tangent. This is no holiday @DebinHawaii it‘s Hell! 3mo
IndoorDame I felt like this conversation went way over my head. All I got was that it was all in snarky coded language about who knew Sydney best. 3mo
willaful This chapter infuriated me. Milton starts out knowing quite well that Kerr is *injurious.* Yet she is so good at manipulation, she still manages to fill him with doubt. I\'m not sure they should actually get married, but I think the relationship with someone who actually cares about her could be valuable to Sydney, unless Kerr has managed to ruin it.

Ronald continues to toss off supposedly witty epigrams as if on his deathbed.

willaful @IndoorDame I\'ve felt this way through most of the book! 3mo
currentlyreadinginCO ya I'm just enjoying the vibes at this point 3mo
mcctrish @IndoorDame is it Kerr code or is it upper crust code ? Or is Kerr speaking her own regional dialect of posh? 3mo
rubyslippersreads @DebinHawaii That‘s exactly how I feel. 3mo
rubyslippersreads @mcctrish @DebinHawaii I wonder if The Hotel is actually purgatory? 😏 3mo
mcctrish @rubyslippersreads that makes sense 3mo
