Scotius RECOGNIZED his mistake and TALKED TO HIS FRIEND TO RESOLVE THE CONFLICT BEFORE IT RUINED THEIR LIVES ![]() (Petition to make that a trope but they’re all friends in the end and no one gets hurt or traumatized) I mean Scotius (the names had me wheezing) was, as usual, in love with Jean. Well, to be fair, it wasn’t so much of a love triangle as a friendship triangle. I actually enjoyed the love triangle (oh dear am I too different from who I was? The real me would never support a love triangle! Imposter!). Granted, I didn’t finish it the first time, but the story and world felt different to me. Either way, this book hit different the second time around. ![]() Maybe reading Sense and Sensibility in my book club made me accustomed to 15th century dialect.

And finally Jen was the complete opposite to me. Plus there seemed to be a great number of books at the time that portrayed women as victims and I was keen to write about someone with agency.
