I'm doing one big push and finishing up "The Bad Book." No sleep until this nightmare is over.

Doing one more chapter tonight because it's a short one.

Chapter 5 thoughts below

Gonna leave all thoughts in the comments cuz it doesn't have a character limit.

Comments are on Verity's autobiography pages.

*Listening to the book series you're gonna be finishing is the first smart thing she's done.
*"How can one brain hold so much creativity?" is ironic to see from such an empty plot so far. Could've used some imagination.
*The Times is hardly the bastion of great writers. Case in point: this damn book.
*The low confidence in her work/self plus her sassy comments don't align with the character.

I had so many thoughts yesterday that I swapped to my laptop to write these updates.
*Kink shaming seems so off topic from last chapter. Reads more like Hoover's input than Lowen's.
*Three paragraphs in a row start with "I (verb)", one even being "I think," followed by the creative "I like to think."
*Showing carelessness about her mom again, but still don't by guilt was enough of a motive to care.

Was all her food delivered? She never left so it must’ve for the ant thing to work. SHE DID WHAT WITH HER AGENT?! That’s a massive HR violation!!! Unless they were married prior, but even then there’s a power imbalance!
And Jeremy is giving her the deal. BECAUSE SUBTLETY IS DEAD. THEY JUST HAPPENED TO GO TO THE SAME PLACE. COINCIDENCE? APPARENTLY! And again with the damn ring! GET A GRIP!

Pretty good opening incident, would’ve hooked me if I didn’t know how unimportant it would be.
A mirror scene to describe the main character…
Love interest is already introduced? Just happens to be her savior 🙄
Why are they chatting in the bathroom? She just said two pages ago she’s got to get to a meeting!
Sure, “shirt off his back” and all that but altruism? And that ring comment? Girl you just met

THEY DO WHAT TO MAKE ENCLAVES!?
