Lol seems like Carol wanted to get rid of the book too.

[@withcindy]

She definitely did !

[@dreamingofthemoon]

This book has as many plots as Riverdale

[@davidbasa9985]

I feel like the author thought of one scene with everyone in Vegas randomly talking and made an entire book leading up to it because she thought it was so good

“If you’re going to have children might as well raise them yourself.” So you will be home with the children too then, good sir? We’re just going to starve in the house with our five children because god knows we can’t leave them alone for any amount of time.

[@sarahj5161]

that's what I was thinking lol

[@aishaaofthedays]

Like even if what he meant was just 'Parents should be the one taking care of their kids most of the time' the best solution would be to have both parents work less so they can keep their careers, and still equally take care of the kids. Like sir, you made that child as well, you should be close to them as well.

[@jina8960]

Sarah J omg are you sarah j mass

[@ashikjaman1940]

I think he means that the wife will stay at home to raise the children and the husband will sacrifice himself to the chaos lords so that the family will stay fed while only staying in the house

Carol’s book sounds like something you’d read on Wattpad.

[@emilyk3500]

I have read better fanfics on Wattpad, my friend. The whole site is a mess but this book, in comparison, makes it look like the perfect site for books. But in reality they both are dumpster fires.

[@cleosvoyage9191]

Indeed... I was part of the cringy fanfics writers... Anyways most good fanfics on Wattpad are from authors that also write on AO3 and FanFiction.Net

[@mollietenpenny4093]

For some reason this reminds me a of my sister's first attempt to write a novel. My sister wrote a romance story in her teens, it was a story about a girl who finds out that her fiance was cheating on her with her sister (and the mom was real chill about it). When my mom read it she told my sister not to show it to her friends (for obvious reasons). Today my sister's writing has greatly improved (she sticks to the fantasy genre now).

Me, pausing at the Vegas part and realizing the video is only half over: "How the hell long is this book?"

[@Cassia_L]

Books that make less sense than bad fanfiction are rare gems :p Also, that might have been the reason Carol had no problem with a stranger reading her book and then insisted on you keeping it ^^

[@withcindy]

she had NO hesitation whatsoever about giving that book away

[@Cassia_L]

@@withcindy I wonder why... :)

[@riveradamaris8]

I read rare germs instead of rare gems

[@xmlthegreat]

The main character's best friend sounds exactly like my dad. Having a problem with your computer? Call Bill Gates! Having an issue getting your work done on a government website? Tweet at the Prime Minister. Having trouble finding an internship? Literally call up the CEO of this random company and ask for an internship. My dad knows none of these people by the way, this is just his normal way of dealing with things. He's like a Karen sometimes.

[@Forestfreud]

I hate when books about therapists have crazy plot twist intersections between their patients and their outside life and the entire conflict is like “but my boyfriend! but confidentiality!” conflict of interest trumps both. You can’t be a good unbiased therapist with that shit going on. Drop the client.
