I'd fallen behind in reading this, but caught up now and... yeah. I love how we're actually down to the final five, but there's still no real leaning toward an outright winner. I have my hunches, but it still could be anyone, which makes it awesome.
Also I love how my mind is drawing parallels between these characters and BR ones, and yet the MT girls are still maintaining their sense of self. I started off saying I was going to interpret this like an OC story/OBR situation, and you've not let me down.
Well, you know I didn't want to see this coming and if I'd followed through on my original 'good girls can't win' thought, then I'd have picked it, but I got too caught up in MT being Darrell's series.
Well done on how it happened. It really couldn't have panned out any other way.
Darrell, Mary-Lou, Bill and Ruth - these were the ones that had me reaching for the tissues.
I'm looking forward to the end, and then I'm going to read the whole thing through from the start. And finally I'll be able to discuss it at book club as we don't meet again until mid-November, so it will be finished. I recc'ed it on our newsletter, so hopefully a few more of us will be able to talk about it.
