Nevertheless, if I were the sort to write fanfiction for a book I have not and frankly do not care to ever read, the two of them would be endgame. They honestly seemed to be the only people with any kind of positive chemistry at all. And Harmony's kid keeps running to Gwen (despite thinking she's ugly) so I mean... this thing practically writes itself.

    Harmony: Likes Alex, dates him but cheated on him, got pregnant, and is now back together with Alex
    Paul: Has been set up with Gwen for a date, dated Harmony, still likes Harmony
    Alex: Dated Gwen, Found our he was a father, got over Gwen, Went back to his cheating baby mama, thanks Gwen for changing Harmony
    Best Friend: Dated her boyfriend (AKA the Roadie), maybe pregnant, stop liking the roadie, marries the Lakers guy after 10 minutes of knowing him in Vegas
    Best Friend’s BF: Is (was?) dating the best friends, now being a roadie
    Laker’s Guy: Marries the Best Friend and knows Harmony

    Should have ended it when Gwen tells Dennis she’s fine being alone, nice feminist ending and honestly why does she even want to be with Alex except money?

    Plot twist; Carol was the author who, after re-reading her work, decided she could not allow it to be associated with her. In her desperate attempt to rid herself of the shameful work, she gladly gave it to Cindy, knowing that she would never have to see her literary scurge again.

    Cindy + "airplane" + "trash romance" = I knew this was going to be a win. This should be a cautionary tale, but I actually love the concept of borrowing your next seat's book. Best get a middle seat, I suppose, for options.

    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).

    Having a problem with your computer? Call Bill Gates!

    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.
