"I was with her always—through the attack that left Byatt without a voice for almost a week, through the attack that tore the skin off her back and gave her a second spine. I have to be with her this time too."

Watching the Possession movie for the first time, and a minute in I am already weirded out by Roland Mitchell being American.

The more I scroll through booktok to see what people are saying ab wilder girls, the more I’m convinced no one actually understood this book

Marketing it as YA was a mistake, bc this is a horror book with young adult characters. The book ends the way it does bc this book isn’t fantasy, it’s science fiction, and we’ve been clearly told throughout the book that there is no help, these girls have been given up on.

There is no magical cure to save the day and to me, it seemed like Rory Power didn’t want to take that cheap deus ex machina. Her story is so grounded that it couldn’t have ended any other way. It’s all a very realistic depiction of life and teenage girls and trauma.

It is such a bleak depiction of the world and the realistic circumstances that we would face with an outbreak like the tox. But it’s not a hopeless book. The end inspires hope: hope they’ll make it the mainland, hope they can find a cure, hope that Byatt will be okay, no matter how unlikely.

Reese trying to ask Hetty out is such a mood ngl

Hetty: Byatt is my best friend! She’s like my sister!

Reese: Yeah okay but I don’t want us to become like her and you

Hetty: you don’t want us to be friends?!

Reese: ummmmmmmmmmmmm yeahhhhhhhhhhh..............

Do you think Byatt cared for Hetty and reese at all?

I like to think she did, I just think it wasnt very healthy. I don't have the book on me now so correct me if I'm wrong, but when the doctors are testing on her and ask her about her friends, she says, "my girls." idk it's just my take on it but she seemed to be very possessive and enjoyed the fact that Hetty relied on her for a lot.
