Summary
What’s he going to do, say ‘Bad,’ so that Eliot can frown and stop what he’s doing and rub Quentin’s shoulders and say, ‘Shit, baby. What’s going on?’ and Quentin can answer, ‘I thought we were out of eggs but we weren’t,’ because he didn’t have the decency to unpack his own mental breakdown before he came out here to ruin Eliot’s afternoon, like. Seriously?

Summary
Realizing that you don’t care about sex when it’s all your friends care about is a tricky prospect. There’s a temptation to put yourself above them, to convince yourself that you’re simply too mature to be hung up on sex and dating, that you have better things to think about, like your schoolwork or your college applications or your part-time job as a licensed private investigator. That’s easy, because it lets you imagine that one day, when everyone else is as mature as you are, you’ll all care about sex a normal amount and the fact that you’ve never once imagined yourself engaging in it will be irrelevant, because everything will be as it should be.
It’s not true, of course.

Summary
“Okay, well, I was talking to Rio while we were - - in a meeting,” oh god, that’s - - Beth flushes at Ruby’s knowing look, can feel the bubble of babble in her throat cresting, but powers through it. “And I told him Dean and I were selling the house, and I asked him for, you know, like, a little extra money or a raise or something to help me out with finding somewhere.”
“A raise on your fifty percent?” Ruby asks, and Beth nods vehemently, returning Ruby’s are you out of your mind? look with her own who’s side are you on? look before powering through.
“Anyway, he said no, and then we were at a – another meeting a couple of days ago, and he proposed that we - -“ she fumbles for the words in her head. “Consolidate our assets. In our partnership.”

Summary
Right now, Beth pulls the trigger, and Rio’s smile doesn’t so much as slip. His empty grin widening out into something real, something animal. Beth cocks his gun clumsily, and aims again, and it takes her three tries to realise that the chamber’s empty.

Summary
Quentin Coldwater, high-fantasy wunderkind and eternal sucker for a good hero, only needs one thing: to finish the last book of his trilogy.
Eliot Waugh, genre-busting enfant terrible and antihero (at best) of his own not-so-thinly-veiled life story, doesn’t need anything at all.
A middle-of-winter book tour reveals, one snow-covered city at a time, that there may be something else they both (desperately) need. If only they can let themselves have their own happy ending.
