I am rereading this book & forgot how much I cannot stand Cora’s sister. Don’t get me wrong, she was in a bad position in terms of her relationship after the tragic situation Cora & Dean went through. I understand she could never understand what they went through but to make a comment like “it’s been 6 weeks Dean, you were only down there for 3 weeks, I thought you’d bounce back by now” “we haven’t been intimate since you got back” really? Bounce back? From being trapped, chained to pipes, forced to have sex with each other, being fed turkey sandwiches & one glass of water a day for weeks? It’s infuriating. Even a person who can’t fathom going through that should have the common sense & human kindness to be patient & understanding towards your Fiance who had to do things to survive that he can’t stand that he had to do. Then to force both her Fiance & sister to act normal & go to parties & go on dates like everything is normal? How about giving them some damn time to go to therapy & try to work out what happened & find positive & healthy ways to cope? Tf? For a woman who has been in a relationship with this man for over 15 years, you’d think she would be a little more understanding & kind. Gahhhhhh
