Salvage the Bones

Didn't want to post before class just to see what other thoughts could maybe contribute to some of the things I saw through the book. The scene of Esch finally making Manny look at her was one of my  favorite parts. She was radiating with this feminine power at that point. She had finally "won" by Manny having to look at her and have some accountability of his actions. He couldn't run away at that point. Watching Esch develop her mindset over the course of the book was interesting. She seemed so fragile as it started, and I felt like at the end she was stronger than ever. Katrina, even though it destroyed everything, still gave me a sense that everything was actually better than it was beforehand. Really enjoyed this book even though every single bad turn that could have happened, did happen.
