revelations, revelations opening: dorothy argues with her brother in a laundromat after not seeing him for three years 

lover boy opening: beau pretends he’s normal and unbothered about being stood up by a date, taking photos for a gay couple that has what he wants, impulsively hooking up with a stranger at a bar, bumping into his ex boyfriend’s twin sister, hanging out with his ex boyfriend’s twin sister and driving her home to the apartment he knows his ex boyfriend is in, the fact his best friend has been dead for almost a year now, and all the other ways it gets worse that i can’t reveal yet 

RR book 3 opening:

[UNTIL HEAVEN. Chapter 1. December 23, 1990. The morning after his father dies Felix is on the rooftop of a stranger’s house with Cocteau Twins on his Walkman and a cigarette in his mouth. It’s the Sunday before Christmas, it’s colder than usual but the rain is soft on his face. At twenty-six, this is the closest he gets to prayer.]

dad died but i’m still chilling!!!!!!!!!!

the first chapter of lover boy is really intense on an emotional level because So Many Things happen in quick succession it's like beau barely gets a chance to breathe and process it. meanwhile RR opening chapter is just felix and dorothy arguing in a laundromat.
