That is what I thought also. Kane brought flyers to Carly at one point, that I thought were Terry's missing person flyers, but nothing came of that. And since Carly incinerated his hideaway, she saw all the other things he had. She just acted like none of that happened.B Creech wrote: ↑01 Feb 2020, 17:28 Although I liked Adam and Carly and were glad they became a couple, the situation with Terry did make me wonder about them. Neither of them mentioned it to each other, and neither of them seemed to have a conscience about it. If I were Carly, I would want to know exactly how my boyfriend had been involved instead of just ignoring it. I agree about the parents never getting closure. It was like Terry didn't matter so why mention her anymore!

Totally changes the way I view them. I mean you have a dead girl on your concise and you ignore it? Okay I get Adam was scared. Nut when Carly knew about it I really think she should have told somebody. I really wish Terry's death should have more of an impact in the story.KDJ wrote: ↑01 Feb 2020, 11:32 Although a small part in the overall novel, Terry's character and situation stayed with me. The fact that there did not seem to be closure for her family who posted flyers for her was sad to me. Does Terry change what you think about both Adam and Carly? If so, is that change good or bad?

Yes, I feel that you can not just walkway after hiding an innocent dead body and live life as if it was just another pebble on the road. It should have consequences.thaservices1 wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 02:38 My biggest complaint. He causes this girl's death and it just gets shuffled off to non importance since they get to be superhero happy lovebirds.

Yes, I totally judge Carly in this matter. She had a chance to do something but she did not.KDJ wrote: ↑01 Feb 2020, 21:37That is what I thought also.

It was odd how that whole situation seemed to just fall into the background. I also would think Adam would still fight with his inner demons and urges as the story progressed and gradually overcome them, but once he met Carly everything just stopped. And if I were Carly, I would be concenred that he was involved with a missing person and try to find out what I could in order to even trust him.KDJ wrote: ↑01 Feb 2020, 11:32 Although a small part in the overall novel, Terry's character and situation stayed with me.

True whatever power Carly had to detect characters she should have done something to at least ensure that Terry's death receives proper closure.Letora wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 05:20It was odd how that whole situation seemed to just fall into the background.

I agree completely. This definitely should have had a bigger effect on both Adam and Carly. I hated that the family got no closure! This seemed like a missed opportunity to develop the story and characters.Howlan wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 05:03Totally changes the way I view them.

Yeah, that is an interesting premise. I can't think of anything to say without spoilers. this book is a really good read. Come back when your all done and tell us what you think about how Terry is handled in itJocelyn Eastman wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 15:24 So far I am only about 30% into the book but the way Adam deals with Terry is really interesting and I wonder if there will be any more. I am at the point where his feelings go Jo change and he is with Carly. Will he seek out anymore women who look like Jo if things don’t work out with, or if something happens to Carly?
I think it’s an interesting premise.
