Status Updates From Rain (Hudson, #1)

If you want to convey that someone is a bad person, it may not be best to say that they have rich chocolate running through their veins instead of blood. I mean what is that supposed to convey? Everybody hears chocolate and they think something sweet and tasty that everybody loves. Out of context, if someone said a person had rich chocolate in their veins instead of blood, the worst you'd assume is that they were fat

I understand from context that some important Revelation has been made and some important argument is happening. However, I'll be damned if I know what the Revelation is or why these people are arguing.

Just realized the page numbers here and in my copy aren't matching 😭
Anyway, once again, I understand from context that this girl's just being racist, but why did she randomly change the subject to music? Like they're not talking about music. They're talking about grades. And she's just randomly like, "I guess you like hip hop music the most." And of course, 🙄 Rain only likes Mozart.

How is this girl finding time to get straight A's in an elite private school, do practice for a play, have an active social life, cook elaborate meals, and clean a gigantic mansion all by herself?

I am losing it here, y'all, I really and truly am. "Oh he pinned me down and forcibly removed my clothes while I said no several times and I had to physically force him off me." "He almost raped you." "I never said that!" Girl yes you did. She describes feeling violated by a guy kissing her against her will and that is absolutely valid but then she's like yeah he tried to rape me nbd. Neiderman please die.

Why does everybody in this book keep acting like it's normal to call Downs a blood disease because it has to do with chromosomes and chromosomes are in the blood. Yeah, man, they're in your skin and hair too, but you wouldn't call Downs a bad haircut or a skin infection. Like if it was just this guy I could brush it off as him being a liar, but it's Rain and her friend too.

"Rich people are too complicated...I actually longed to be back in the Projects, sitting in my room, worrying about nothing more than what I would make us all for dinner." And the gangbangers who killed your sister, tried to rape you, threatened to kill your brother, and set you on fire.
