Consider yourself lucky. The books are going from awesome into a swirling vortex of suck that I am having the damnest time trying to pull myself out of. It's like an abusive relationship. I know better, but I keep coming back for more. *sigh*
I would be more upset to see them get together now to have KH then break them up for awhile, than I will be if she were to have them dabble in others then ultimately "see the light" at the end.
My thing is that I am becoming more and more and more convinced every day that she REALLY doesn't intend for them to be together in the end. I honestly don't think that it will happen. If I did, I wouldn't want a temporary hookup. But she's beaten me down to the point, where I just want SOMETHING to happen between them so that I haven't wasted X amount of money and a butt-load of time reading these books only to be
at the end of the series.
She can have all kinds of storylines for the next few books that just focus on general non-romantic things (though I suppose for Rachel that would be asking too much) that would 'delay the talk' for them for another few books.
Honestly, I would love it if she dialed back the romance (ALL romance, not just Ravy). The reason why I love the first book so much is because it was a lot of plot, and very little romance. But I don't think that CB will ever go back to those simpler (more enjoyable) times. I think the next book is going to be full of Pierce shenanigans, will probably introduce another male character who will be Rachel's next love interest, and will shit on Ivy as usual by having things go horribly wrong between her and Glenn.
To me, KH having Ivy in a relationship with a man won't be nearly as threatening to Rachel's "Ivy worships me so I can have her whenever I want' mindset as having her in a relationship with another woman would.
Exactly. Which is why I think she chose to have Ivy with a man at this point. She's really pushing the whole 'friendship' thing. Rachel got batshit jealous when Skimmer was around which came off really fucking gay. When Glenn, Rachel won't feel threatened, will probably be supportive (when she pulls her head out of her ass long enough to even realize they are dating), and therefore Cock Block manages to avoid the Ravy UST.
I just have no faith in K.H. right now. She's playing both sides of the fields, but when she's forced to pick one side I think she'll come down on the side of Rachel/random dude.
