Wow y’all are good proofer/editors. I was so caught up in her books I wouldn’t have noticed. Sower sat in my pile for months. Then I couldn’t put it down.

HOW CAN SHE HAVE THREE BROTHERS AND ALSO FOUR BROTHERS IT SHOULD SAY THE OLDEST OF FOUR BROTHERS

“He's only twelve, the oldest of my three brothers. I don't like him much, but he's my stepmother's favorite. Three smart sons and one dumb one, and it's the dumb one she loves best.”

Not exactly the same but I discovered a line in one of JG Ballard’s final novels that implies that women insert and remove their own IUDs as needed, like, in the bathroom after a shower, on their way out the door, tampon-style. No one ever seems to have commented on it and it’s driven me insane.

The publisher probably has a place on their website to submit errors. If it really is an error, it can be corrected on a later printing. You should tell them!

Whatever, I’m still reading it. Continuity be damned. I just bought it a few weeks ago.

Ok is it possible there's one who is the stepmother's son but not the narrator's brother? Like I said it's been a while since I read it.

Oh no! I read it a couple of years ago and I don't remember that. My daughter is reading it now, should I warn her? Or is the meaning obvious and it's just annoying?
