After a recent re-watch of "Grand Pre-Pre-Pre-Opening" I noticed how comfortable Linda is on their opening day. Bob mentioned in that episode that she'd been working and saving for a condo since she was 15. I'm sure she mainly waited tables before she got that job as a receptionist at the Insurance Company.
What do you think?
They sub milk for THREE QUARTERS OF A CUP cream in the frosting and then give it 2 stars because the frosting didn't work. Sigh
I laughed so hard when I first saw this episode and Nat threw the apple core out of the window, causing Linda to say, "Someone in my family ate an apple!?!"
Upon a re-watch I wondered if that was a clue that the whole thing was a set up since, good point, Linda, which Belcher would eat an apple?
How did they manage with 3 kids - a baby and 2 toddlers? I can't see them affording daycare, Bob needs Linda to wait tables, and I'm almost positive (I hope NOT) Linda's parents weren't the answer so how??
I can take all of the constant scamming with offers of (paid) book clubs, phony publishers, phonier agents, fake media inquiries, offers to make me a Best-Selling-Author™! but when they "circle back to make sure" I saw their e-mail, damn, does it piss me off!
It's like they're saying, "Wow, I was SURE you were stupid and gullible enough to fall for my scam, what gives??"
Since Emma invites Mrs. Goddard to supper on a regular basis, does that mean we can assumes Mrs. Goddard's father was a gentleman?
It doesn't seem that Emma ever invites other people with whom her father is friendly, who are not gentlefolk (e.g. the Perrys and the Coles) so I'm thinking there has to be a difference with Mrs. Goddard that makes her company more acceptable.
On a related note, won't Emma be required by the rules of good manners to invite the Coles to Hartfield after accepting their invitation to dinner?
I've always figured that Julia married Yates because she knew her father would be severe on his remaining daughter but mainly because the scandal would have doomed her chances with anyone but Yates.
​
But I've never known if the unequal punishment between men and women JA alluded to would include Tom's prospects. Not that it seems like Tom was in a hurry to marry so I suppose he could wait for the scandal to die down.
​
Either way I wonder if there would there be families who would forbid their daughters from associating with the Bertram scion?
Has anyone else seen a reviewer leave the same review on GoodReads with a lower star value than the review they posted on the BookSirens site?
​
I'm puzzled why they'd do that
BLURB:
Everyone thinks their mother is murder but for mafia-family renegade Lucia Scafetti, that’s the literal truth.

After her mother disappears, everyone: foes, friends, and free agents, descends upon Lucia in search of the thumb-drive her mom stole from a Caribbean drug lord. Lucia learns the hard way that the criminals besieging her will gladly kill to get their hands on that thumb-drive. With the help of an intriguing ex-soldier, Lucia employs her skills, both detective and deadly, to solve the murder and unlock the secret of that enigmatic thumb-drive before it claims another life, be it her own – or that of her recently re-discovered son.
