”Crawling back to you”.
Not the andreil content I was expecting…
This part got me SO MAD
And he made Jeremy answer it, like, c'mmon how terrible of a parent can you be
Yes, the kid fucked up. Yes, using drugs was a shit decision. From that to literal murder there is a huge gap.
Also, it is Jeremy, boy couldn't harm a flower. He is literally so sweet all the time. How can you not know your kid that much????
Jeremy's family make me wanna throw up
honestly i HATE trent knox bc wdym ur questioning if ur son killed somebody when the worst thing he’s ever done is do drugs and have an orgy
Jean with a peach was not on my TGR bingo card but it’s currently the only thing keeping me sane
can someone smarter than me tell me vaguely what time of year golden raven ended? cause i'm mildly confused how the third book is gonna span all the way to finals if this book hasn't even gotten to winter break or anything... four books? 🤔😏
....all this speculation about who might throw a punch to protect Jean and here comes James Rhemann with a steel chair
Just a rough sketch because my brain is still reeling reading for the last 24 hours straight but I just can’t get over this book!!!
thinking about how Jeremy knows that Jean is afraid of water but not necessarily that he was waterboarded at evermore.
thinking about how Jean knows that Jeremy got clean off coke but not necessarily that he spent 5 weeks in rehab.
thinking about how Jeremy takes the stairs with Jean because Jean is claustrophobic but he doesn’t know Jean was locked in a box.
thinking about how Jean lets Jeremy nap instead of practicing because he’s tired but doesn’t know he’s fallen asleep driving.
thinking about how Jeremy knows Jean had feelings for Kevin but not how deep the pain of Kevin’s betrayal truly goes.
thinking about how Jean has no idea that Jeremy was left high and dry by the first man that was more than just a hookup to him.
thinking about how Jeremy doesn’t know Jean cried so hard he almost vomited after Grayson’s attacks back in the Nest.
thinking about how Jean doesn’t know that Bryson has threatened to plant drugs if Jeremy doesn’t fail the LSAT.
thinking about how Jeremy doesn’t know that Jean has had his life sworn away to a man who can and will use him as an income.
thinking about how Jean doesn’t know that Jeremy’s entire life and future are locked away somewhere that Jeremy doesn’t even know.
thinking about how Jeremy doesn’t know that Jean wouldn’t have lived in any other life.
thinking about how Jean doesn’t know that Jeremy would’ve been waiting forever for him.
just thinking about them and what they don’t know about each other.
also on a lighter note:
thinking about how Jeremy doesn’t know that Jean crushed hard on his photos.
thinking about how Jean doesn’t know that he is undeniably Jeremy’s exact type.
thinking about how Jeremy doesn’t know that Jean’s favorite color is brown because of his eyes.
thinking about how Jean doesn’t know that Jeremy saw gold peonies reflected in his eyes during the fireworks.
the fact that jean knew next to nothing about bryson but took one look at jeremy’s face and decided something had to be done about him is wild. the fact that he stood up calmly and yet waited for jeremy to react again, heard the panic in his voice, and acted, is telling.
“it is my place to assess and handle threats against you” is like the absolute best way of saying “I’ll protect you” that I’ve ever read.
and I know we all lost our minds over this scene because of what jean goes and does and APPROPRIATELY SO, but like…
I almost never see anyone talk about the fact that this is the first time jean has a protective instinct towards jeremy. and instead of something like “I’ll go talk to him” or “I’ll make him leave” . . . . .
nora really had jean pretty much go “cat, hold my monopoly money. I don’t want to get blood on it.” and then he went and THREW A MOTHERFUCKER OFF THE PORCH. and then held him against the windshield because bryson was too stupid to stay put. choked him.
again we all lost our ever-loving minds and squealed and screamed because HOW COULD YOU NOT? but nora set a wild standard for people everywhere because this was jean’s first time protecting jeremy and look at how extremely he reacted. raven or not, damn.
guys. peeps. that next book is gonna be gold.
