I just really want her to quit this shy, innocent girl act. Be confident, you just dropped your book, Hollywood star! Move with grace of course but hold your head up high Queen
I love the hair too, finally some color lol
But I'll say this in regards to her humbled, scared, shy girl nature. I think this will be an ongoing fight for the rest of her life until she reaches old age where they stop giving af, it's just another thing I realized in the book where she has constantly felt powerless and scared to speak up for herself, and own her power. She hasn't truly conquered it in such a outward way all these years later. And when she did she would take it too far hence beating the girl with an extension chord or cracking that boys retina with a book. I believe she has PTSD from all the bullying and men that took advantage of her and abused her. She seems to regain her power in ways she finds reachable, protecting her space, distance, this book. Very subtle confidence, but there's no balance. It's either not enough or too much, unfortunately. I hope she can find a middle ground someday. Like where she was pre FM post and NSN, where she was healing and even still that was a hard time mentally. But there were trials after that which were hard blows, you can't always bounce back to your old self
