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.

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.

Your protagonist can either be a smart girl from the ghetto who is used to fighting off unwanted sexual advances OR an ingenue whose extreme naivete is being taken advantage of. She can not be both. Fuck you mean this girl is shocked at the idea that the boy who pinned her down and ripped her clothes off might have lied to get in her pants.

How does she have time to be making dinners that must take at least an hour? Doesn't she have homework? And practice for the play in which she is the lead? When does she sleep?

For someone who's supposed to be grateful and humble and uncomplaining she sure complains a lot.

Jesus God this is boring. Somebody poison somebody.

Honestly tho that wouldn't even help because Rain got set on actual fire and it didn't even make it 10% more interesting.
