Rezension von amelie🧁I found this post on reddit when i looked for answers who it was who got left alone with Stone. I found it so great and so smart, i had to save it here, more for myself than for others. Several people have mentioned here that they think it was Jody who got assaulted, and the reasons why they think this make sense. She was definitely obsessed with the lake monster for the rest of her life, and her narration was the only one from the childhood perspective. However, before reading all your opinions, I thought it was Britney who was left with Stone? She had multiple drinks while the other girls had none that day so she was the most vulnerable- one when they visited the lake boys bedroom, and more when they first entered stones house, she chugged some of the table girls cereal which was mixed with milk and vodka. But the main reason I think it was Britney was because the final sentence of the chapter where the assault happens is "I look around for someone else to be but I am alone and I have always been so scared of being alone." it is mentioned several times throughout the book how much Britney hates being alone. This sentence seemed to identify the victim as Britney to me. Then when we enter Jodys POV, I read it as she was the last one to leave Britney alone with Stone because in the chapter where the girls are watching tv with the tall girl, every character is mentioned except for Britney. In fact the next time we see Britney is when they leave the house and Sammy is giving birth to the stone. Which jody almost puts in her pocket, but Britney takes it and puts it in hers instead. I saw this as Britney being the only one who could carry the weight of the stone be she was also assaulted by him, just like Sammy probably was. Finally, someone else mentioned that in Britneys chapter she seems to be working at 'his' event, him probably being Stone. and the mark on her leg that her mother says she gave to her as a birthmark is probably the bruise she got from stone. I think Jody became obsessed with the monster maybe because she feels the guilt of being the last to abandone britney. -REDDIT r/books Brutes by Dizz Taylor
