I'm not criticizing her. I am saying that people seldom make choices like that unless they know they have financial safety nets.

Jeez! I can hardly wait.

You paint a perfect word picture of what is wrong in her work.

I would never trust him. But politics make strange bedfellows, and we are on the edge of the abyss.

i agree with you that women who sleep around are treated differently than men are. But I didn't mention a man in what I said. I mentioned Allison specifically because she continuously puts herself in a position to be hurt with men.

I have no desire to fight with you. Perhaps you can take a look at all the umbrage you have drummed up at a stranger (who simply has a different view of a TV character than you do) and ask yourself why what I said made you so angry. Because, honestly, this discussion is about a soap opera and not real people.

She slept with Cole to get to see her daughter and she slept with Noah to get the divorce papers signed.

Glenn Beck changed his mind. So did Lindsay Graham, Ana Navarro, the Bush dynasties, and the Mormons. Trump won anyway.

I like the originality in her work. My hope is that maturity will transform the self indulgence into more cohesive and better developed writing.

Valedictorian of Georgetown and then turned down Goldman-Sachs to be a freegan writer-actress-producer. My guess is that her real calling is "Trustafarian."

No, she isn't. she is making up stories (which are real to her) to deal with the trauma of being abandoned by her family and abused by a rapist predator.

I think she got those books to make sense of what she experienced. I don't know that what she experienced was real, because she was off her medication.

And, yes! I have plenty of mental illness in my family, which is why I think I do agree with your comment.

Exactly. And she was in a disassociated state when she raped and kidnapped. She ordered the books to make sense (to her) of what happened.

17. The willful ignorance, anger, misogyny and racism of the American people who voted for Donald Trump.

I think she's in on how weird she is. And enjoys it..

I really loved the last movement scene in the cafeteria.

She's making it all up but it's real to her.

I think her initial blindness was hysterical.

I agree with everything the reviewer said, but I came to a different conclusion. I thought OA was about the mind's ability to survive trauma and abuse by rationalizing it as being part of some kind of religious plan.
