I wish people would understand that people have different lives to them and different opportunities. Yes, we'd all be super-wonderful and avoid all unpleasant companies in an ideal world - but there are reasons why everyone has to make the choices they make.

That's really interesting. I found it fascinating as I aged past the ages of the main characters last time I read them all (2017-19) and am curious to see what changes. Do you re-read other authors? Other books by IM?
