So I finished Charitable Getting in the midst of my food coma today.
Sam, it's FANTASTIC.
It's a book that I've been itching to get back to as soon as I put it down all week long (I may or may not have been reading it during my drive through rush hour traffic in DC, BUT ONLY AT RED LIGHTS I SWEAR), and so I got to read the last 50 pages or so all in a big rush today. I went back and poked through some of your posts during the first draft stages and it looks like most of the things you worried about became my favorite elements- I LOVED the ensemble and felt like they all stood out as individuals with personalities that made me want to be around them (I felt a kinship with Jess's hair in particular HA HA INCLUDING DETAILS OF APPEARANCE PAYS OFF), and Trent was a believable asshole and Tanya wasn't totally evil at all. One of my favorite scenes turned out to be what I think is a late addition- Ian interviews Tanya. I LOVE IT. I love it as much as Ian loves it, which seems like rather a lot. :D But seriously- I think it's a wonderful read and I can't wait to be in on the next Extribulum process. :)
