“Wait I’m confused. So Jewish folk now own the rights to yellow stars?”

Well this seems kind of dumb. Looks more like a sheriff badge than a star of David. Five and six pointed stars are fully different symbols.

I posted this a bit ago but not sure when/if it will come out of the greys. A friend of mine screen cap’d it, so here you go:

The whole “Caught my reflection, here’s a description of my ass” bit feels very textbook porn stories.

I was thinking the same thing! This is so awkwardly reminiscent of how male writers narrate female characters. “I looked into the mirror and saw my hazel-with-specks-of-green eyes looking back at me. My nose sloped into a pixie tip—some would call it charming, but I just call it small. My rounded, firm youthful…

Sounds to me like some excellent shade from Blues Traveller...

I think it’s fair to say that Phil Stamper deserves at least equal billing for ‘incredible sleuthing’ along with Jeremy West. Pajiba used his Twitter investigation for more than half of their article.

WHY AM I SO SPECIAL AND CHOSEN, IT’S JUST NOT FAIR YOU PLEBS DON’T UNDERSTAND ME.

“UGH I HATE MY WEIRD VIOLET EYES AND FLAME-COLORED HAIR, WHY COULDN’T I JUST BE NORMAL HOT” - every Mary Sue ever

I really hope Gill De Mace is seeking legal advice.

Holy tense shifting, batman.

Yiiiikes. I write on the side, and admire people who can make a living writing. Writing is tough! This is not great, though. Just one example of cringe-inducing sentence: “Those types of storms are rare and magical in my mind.” In addition to the cliche, why add “in my mind”?!? We are already in your mind! Blech.

wow this is... not good...

I read this excerpt and it made me think I could very easily be a famous YA author. The writing is horrendous, but also, her lack of a thigh gap is her great flaw?

And the cover was copied from someone else’s painting. Because of course it was.
