@Shazam_11 prob the first line of the book, "Friday Barnes was not an unhappy child. That said, she wasn't deliriously over the moon either.", it just stuck with me, something about how it sets Friday up as this completely blank character and really makes her seem so cut off from the real world because when one describes a child who would begin with 'well she isn't unhappy' kinda giving it up that she lives a bland life
