Finding The 22 Murders of Madison May by @MaxBarry incredibly addictive! Not even halfway through the book and last night I dreamed I'm trying to keep Madison (and myself) alive 😂

My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied
