Maybe I’m being too generous because I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS SO, SO, DAMN MUCH. But right now all I am is a girl, who just read a full on BI REP book (HOLY HELL SUSO & BURKE. MY BI HEART SWELLS WITH HAPPINESS), balled up in bed, in perpetual happiness, with a huge smile on my face, listening to music i’m sure Leah would approve of...

AND I AM
SO
HAPPY!

Something that shied me away from this for a bit was a lot of other people’s reviews were things that were said about Leah. I can understand, now, that fitting into her complex AF shoes is probably REALLY hard. There are a million reasons that this may have been irritating if you just couldn’t Vibe with Leah, and i’m sorry if that did happen to you.

I, however, apologize to MYSELF that I let reviews stand in the way of my better judgement on this one... I should’ve read it a LONG time ago! Thank Goodness I decided to read it now. :-)
Leah didn’t annoy me one bit. Maybe thats because I majored in psychology & psychoanalyze everyone all the time (
