Her dad is also toxic (and not just because of his ugly style).

Also, it’s the Adderall that gives you energy, Eli, not getting up at 530 am to run wind sprints as a pre-teen.

Like… are we serious? And this is a book she often recommends.

It really looks like she just copied the oil painting vibe and changed the font. Completely unoriginal. If i was Antonia Angress I’d be PISSED

As a podcaster you should be more engaging

Idk what’s worse: only talking about his family in the most bland haikus or the thesaurus roulette of adjectives glazing her own fam (looking at you “cavernously”)

Special addition: the pole AND mic blocking the groom the whole time (who needs his reaction anyways)

Edit: can’t spell 👍

As if we needed any more confirmation of her “writing” abilities!! Holy sh*t this was awful. It doesn’t even sound like she can read! Sure she was probably nervous but my goodness….and so many strange comments? Too many to mention but saying Avery’s grandparents “sixty something wedding anniversary”…if you’re taking the time to talk about and honor them then why wouldn’t you give the actual number? She doesn’t really care. And then saying “I’m so excited to be your first girl” to his parents was weeeeeird!!

Edit: her tailoring on this already ugly dress is AWFUL and I just noticed how she takes her drink back from him immediately 😂

For someone who did theatre she sure is awkward!

plzzzzz i feel like she is dragging out this wedding content bc she didn’t get enough attention and it is so embarrassing

Her idol

Want to preface this by saying that I have a lot of experience in fiction writing (classes, workshops, seminars, etc) and I’m not trying to come from a place of hate here—purely literary criticism. I feel like it’s a pretty well known rule to keep modern pop culture references to minimum. You risk isolating your audience or pulling them out of a scene with these references. Imagine if the secret history was like this and had references to relatively niche pop culture references from the 80s and 90s. Carrie bradshaw and cinderella- ok. These are more of icons at this point that everyone understands. But shosh from girls?? Dorinda and Luann? I totally get if this is written from a point in time but this is writing 101 i fear. I’ll be really curious to see how these all tie into the story and if they serve a deeper meaning / to advance the plot or if they are just name drops.

Not Eli reaching for a Clorox wipe EVERY damn time there are like TWO DROPS of coffee on the counter 😭
Girl, the paper towels are literally right there. What are we disinfecting?? The coffee?? I swear I’ve noticed it in multiple videos now and it has become one of those things I cannot unsee. It’s been happening for months. A simple spill does not need a clorox response.
Paper towel for the two drips. Clorox wipe for the actual mess. Please. There has to be a system.

I just know they had to wade through some bullllllshit to make this novel readable
