// Ugh.

// Some of this author’s choices drove me absolutely bonkers and I was absolutely not interested in this book because of that; this author totally destroyed this book for me with her ridiculous literary decisions! And the ending, everything about the whole mother story, especially that ending, the decision to do with this author did is absolute lunacy! This author needs to smack her self on the back of the head!!!!

// It’s driving me bonkers how this author is somehow excusing the most vile people here, and the great things that are happening she’s somehow twisting and turning into something negative! Besides there’s absolutely nothing wrong with someone you care about wanting to protect you! With all of the really really horrible literary decisions this author is making I can’t help feeling antagonistic toward her!!

// It doesn’t feel like this author is resolving any issues, it sounds like she’s creating a lot of them just for the sake of contrived drama and angst!!

// Jason is pissing me off with making himself out to be a victim here when he himself admitted that he knew how to get his way when it came to Ryder!!

// I think Ryder is pathetic for trying to find ways to make things work with a mother that couldn’t have given less of a fuck about him! Yeah she’s doing a good thing but any fucking stranger off the street would do it, so it’s not something out of the realm of basic human decency! Which by the way, I thought she lacked and I’m pretty sure she does! But this author is making Ryder sound pathetic!!

// On a separate note, with everything you just said Jason, you’re being kind of a hypocrite!!

// I mean think about it, even strangers would give bone marrow, so they could’ve continued to remain strangers just to say have been it until up until that point! I don’t understand the need for any kind of connection a reconciliation! I’m going to be so fucking pissed if that happens!!

// The plot would’ve stood on its own, so for the author to decide that the source of angst would be a thinly veiled excuse to facilitate some kind of resolution or reconciliation with a cunt of a woman who’s been nothing but vile and abusive toward Ryder, is so ludicrous and contrived, it pisses the shit out of me! That the cunt/mother is the only match so that the author can manipulate the story is absurd!!

// Here’s the thing though, some people are just evil, some people are just cunts, sometimes it just is! I don’t believe that Ryder’s mother should be rewarded with having access to Gemma’s life just because she might do something significant that should’ve been a given, and she should have done without asking anyway! Access to Gemma, Ryder, or Jason should never be a reward for good behaviour!!!!
