    Summary

    It’s the weekend of Harper and Abby’s wedding, and this event has everything: ostentatious displays of New England wealth; bridal party brunches; themed cocktails; canapés; moonlit swims in the nude; exquisite torture; cold pizza; gas station popsicles; a copy of Machiavelli’s “The Prince”; a bruise on Sloane Caldwell’s shoulder that matches the dental records of one Riley Bennett.

    Summary

    A particularly unkind feature—to call it one of the worst would be an exaggeration, a dramatique worthy of Cristabel Oct, but it’s somewhere in contention, between “brutally cannibalizing your life partner” and “listening to John’s little me-me references only he gets for eternity”—of Lyctorhood is in their brilliant minds. Their ever-replenishing neurons. Their eternally unstained memories; wherein something might have happened four thousand years ago or yesterday morning.

    All of this to say, when Cytherea tumbles into a meaty set of arms and hears a broad, firm voice say, “—give her some air.” her first thought is, oh, Loveday.

    Summary

    If Ruby stops moving she’ll start crying, and if she starts crying she’ll never stop. So she puts one foot in front of the other and looks around to get her bearings.

    Despite the fact that she’s looking, she’s still surprised when she sees the body.

    [Or: "What if the first person Ruby finds in wonderland is Penny's body?" One by one, our heroes find each other on the island.]
