I'm not a big fan of rules, but I am a big fan of love and grammar (though I'm always looking to improve in regards to both of the those things
Grace:
Seriously, Grace could totally be on the Teen Girl Squad. There are like, three or four potential love interests here because Grace thinks she has a chance with like, every guy she has an interaction with in her hometown. Where apparently every person she ever knew still lives, including a woman who is basically a caricature that Grace is INSANELY jealous of, but Grace has like, no confidence whatsoever, so of course she's always trying to outdo this woman who is in no way a real person.
But also GIRL. YOU ARE THIRTY-THREE. YOU DON'T STILL HAVE TO BRING UP HIGH SCHOOL IN EVERY INTERACTION. ALSO JUST BECAUSE YOUR EX-BOYFRIEND COMES BACK TO TOWN FOR WORK REASONS DOESN'T MEAN HE'S GOING TO MARRY YOU AND WHISK YOU OFF TO HIS MANSION IN HOLLYWOOD. STOP BEING SUCH A TRY-HARD.
I didn't hate this, but most of my thoughts about it are complaints, so I'mma leave this here.
P.S. There's some fat-phobic language in here.
