Fascinating as always, Courtney! Can't wait to go find "Bad Sisters".

(And I found that Austen reference like a spectacular Easter egg waiting for me :) I'm thinking revenge writing might well be on every page of Austen!)

Yes, the desperation in those glib, smarmy, ex-written passages is nauseating!! Physically repugnant, and exponentially so because the set up and punchline, and coda, are patient and exquisitely smart. Vengeful, maybe, but by no means desperate.
