There are better ways of conveying it, you're right, plus there are much better things to focus the story on. Great review, Jessie. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964968798310433317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-12477523831363609482013-06-20T05:26:54.120-07:002013-06-20T05:26:54.120-07:00This sounds like nine kinds of reheated mess.

Aggravating is the perfect word for it.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996840003306047763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-26296415817967059272013-06-19T20:48:41.495-07:002013-06-19T20:48:41.495-07:00Well, the quotes aren't from the female charac...Well, the quotes aren't from the female character.
