Here are my thoughts in order of progression (and I'm so not finished the book yet but here's at half-way):

Oh Lordy )

I kind of want to app Griffin but couldn't do it without Zeke. Thurman mentioned that she's writing book two and keeps having to remind herself that it's not Griffin and Zeke's book... Which she failed to do while writing TOTL imo because they're the only really worthwhile characters in it.

TRIXA IS EVERY NATIONALITY UNDER THE SUN. OH TRIXA, HOW CAN YOU BE SO MANY THINGS AND MAKE IT WORK.

brb puking.

You should have seen me on twitter when I was reading about the shark. I was like wow the shark is the only thing that doesn't want to bang Trixa AND THEN IT STOLE HER BRA.

holy buttmonkeys it is a terrible book.

lol well, I'm a lot more interested in Zeke's character than I'm interested in Trixa's. I'll let you know what I think when I finish. I have to admit, I'm uber curious about what Niko and Cal would make of the brothers.

Thurman has an ethnicity fetish. Trufax.

hahaha I was too confused at how a shark could steal a bra without taking a chunk of breast meat with him to goggle at her allure with fish.

Theeeey're not brothers. The last 60 or so pages of the book are actually good, or at least almost up to TCLS standard and right about there is where they clicked for me. Trixa still. really does not. Nor do anyone else.

She sure does.

The shark. The shark, sob.

Finish it. We must all suffer together. I love how most of the people I know who've read the book have the same basic responses to it.

1) WTF I cannot follow what is being said.
2) WTF Trixa.
3) WTF SHARK.
4) *pokes story with a stock* Do I want this to tie into TCLS?
5) *pokes with a stick some more* Am I done yet?

STICK. Not stock. I gave up on typing correctly long ago.

I'm sure we could poke it with stock too. Maybe beef stock. Clearly it is in need of some substantial foundation.

BUT I WILL FINISH IT. I SWEAR THIS TO YOU.

btw I've been meaning to ask about grab-bag stuff and if you had plans for Henry

The publisher would have gotten a much better book if the idea of a female protagonist in that format weren't pushed so mindlessly.

YAY. JUST DON'T HURT YOUR BRAIN TOO BADLY, OKAY?

I was juggling the ideas of Age Reversal and/or Mine Mine Mine, and I think Vicki might be doing an Age Reversal. Do you have anything you'd particularly like to do.
