The horse is dead and the boyfriend's dead. I was honestly expecting either or both of those, given the way the story was going and just how much they had the main character love his horse, but I wasn't really expecting them back-to-back in two story missions. The story has now gone quite dark, there are a lot of sidequests about characters we know and love going through some very disturbing things, and it's not bad, but it's a lot more harsh than I was quite expecting it to be. I feel like they're going to turn it around into some 'message' - ideally a hopeful one - by the end of the game, but if it doesn't happen soon I may need to take a short break from it. Because it is getting a little bit more hard-going than I was expecting it to be.

I am not looking forward to the heat tomorrow, but I have ice-cream and a plan to stay indoors. Also I have been buying a lot of shorts and summer dresses lately, and I love them, so it's an opportunity to wear those at least.

I don't know why all non-fiction books have to be written in the most unbearable voices imaginable. I have been reading Rejected Princesses for Women's Month, and it's like 'okay...you can stop with the sarcastic asides now'. And it's not the first. Like, I don't want books to be dry, but they don't have to be trying so hard either. Just give me the information, and maybe an honest opinion. Please.
