This book's premise sounds like it should be a horror novel, not a romance.

I also love how Liberty felt the need to tell us about her male leads shady family history for literally no reason, like his ancestors stealing the land never comes up despite sounding like it would be an important plot point. Especially weird since we are supposed to see him as a good guy.

[@Schattenbalg]

I genuinely think she didn't think she was saying a bad thing about the character with that. The vibe I got is full on "He stole it fair and square and now these fucks are profitting off HIS land even though they, like, totally murdered the guy who did it so really, they should shut up already." I mean, shoot me if that doesn't perfectly fit the exact bullshit they like to blather on about regarding the lands stolen from native Americans. It's all "Get over it already, yeesh" and "What?

I have seen this sort of writing with novice fan fiction authors. Having character relationships spring out of nowhere normally comes about because the author spent weeks to months thinking about interactions between these characters specifically with the end goal of them being together and then forgot that none of the thousands of day dreamed interactions from their head ever made it to the page.

I did a dramatic reading of all of these books, and needed a plastic Godzilla toy to help me by the end. I feel your pain. You did miss where she said she lives. That one corner where 4 states all come together. I can't remember but it's like Utah, Colorado, NM and whatever. There's a plaque.

"The president [Trump] sounded like a wise grandfather" caused me to descend into Lovecraftian madness.

[@Owesomasaurus]

Kinda feel bad for the author that their grandpa was so shitty that Trump was a step up.

[@dwdillydally]

Thank you Mr. Noble. It sounds like you're the only person who's read Liberty's books... including the author.

[@ohppig1]

OK, I'll let this play out to satisfy the algorithm but I'm muting the computer. My deepest sympathies and respect, Dom

[@Canadamus_Prime]

Trump giving relationship advice? I can't even process that.

[@claragodwin-suttie3594]

If you were thinking of reading another absolutely bonkers short story, but fancied something by a more famous author, would you consider "The Adventure of the Creeping Man" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? I saw your video on A Study In Scarlet, and honestly, it's one of the more normal Sherlock Holmes adventures

[@beth12svist]

As a Czech: The cherry on top of the bonkers-ness is how Doyle needed a name for a Czech character so he named him Dvorak. _A._ Dvorak.

[@joansemander2945]

What's funny about the fact that Liberty being a man is that the scene with the dead mother feels like a thing that he would have tried on his first date too, just this time it went better lol

[@gutsofthedoom995]

Trump in story about the “Love” conversation: I know a thing or two about love…! (Points happily to her) I HAVE had three wives y’know.

[@peggyliepmann5248]

These reviews of these books feel like a glimpse into another universe sometimes, with entirely alien concepts of human interaction and thought process.

[@fairystail1]

just started and i heard it takes place in the TriState Area. If Perry the Platypus shows up, he better be kicking some Magahat ass,

[@archmageeldran2567]

This book definitely sounds like Liberty wanted a foe to lovers story but the pacing just doesn’t make it work at all and lacks the moments that makes those kinds of stories work. Also mildly creepy to go to someone’s office to ask them on a date when the last time you ask she froze in fear and hightailed it out of their. I can think of creepier things to do on a first date but they involve things like going to Holocaust museums and similar places. The Trump stuff did surprise me but considering the series it does make sense for him to appear in the final one. I enjoyed your look at these books and am curious if you are going to cover a new romance genre or because the strikes are over you can return to Lost in Adaptation.

The most realistic part of this story is that nobody in it sounds like they have a single functioning brain cell.

[@PhoenixHinds]

"Cringe" is the most understated way such insane fiction can be described.

As someone who has been an election volunteer, the idea of getting signatures from 100% of registered members of a party in a district is absurd. Even if you’re trying to get signatures from a smaller group (I was once part of a campaign getting voters whose absentee ballots were rejected to fill out ballot cure forms) you will absolutely not get everyone.

"People fall in love. We love love, don't we folks? Everybody tells me 'you know, I didn't fall in love before you told me it was possible, but then you said it was possible, and I did. I fell in love.' Most people don't know this, but love is one of the primary motivators of getting married, isn't that terrific? Most people don't know that, but *I* knew that, I knew it 3 times at least, and it worked out great every time..."

I didn't catch that MFers full name was Justice Journey until 11:32 and I had to pause and cackle for a half of a minute. Jfc.🤣🤦‍♀️🤣🤦‍♀️

Sir Terry could probably play The Amazing Maurice in a live action remake of that movie?

[@KatediKheimis]

Well, that was certainly something. Thank you for your suffering and for bringing us along for the torment. And thank you especially for the kitty cameo! That is quite the feline presence 😸

You can taste the relief when Dom says the "final" in "third and final"

Ok, but a two person funeral as a first date is what I imagine Mortisher and Gomaz Addems had ( idk if I spelled them wrong…)

Mary Ann would have had better luck convincing J. Jonah Jameson to sell his property if she offered him pictures of Spider-Man.

[@CallMeCrazyCallMePoor]

Well I guess dubbing three unconnected romance plots a trilogy suggests that the Liberty Adams books end here. Lets make him review Art of the Deal!

[@archmageeldran2567]

I would argue we shouldn’t because we like him but considering some of the books the community has asked him to do the Art of the Deal may not even be the worst one.
