BUT SHE ONLY HAS HERSELF TO BLAME! Not just for creating the sexual tension in the first place, but by making blood lust/sex such a major part of Ivy and Rachel's interactions together. We have no basis for their friendship without the sexual tension between them, because they were like mounting each other 100 pages into the first book.
God, yes. I couldn't get over how gay the first few chapters were! How anyone could deny it just does not compute.
It's like, Jesus fucking Christ woman, if you didn't want to have to deal with the gay then you shouldn't have made it THE MOST CONSISTENT ISSUE IN YOUR BOOK SERIES!
This is exactly the problem! I just can't wrap my mind around the idea that an author can be so oblivious to the major themes that SHE WRITES ABOUT. Does she smoke too much weed? Does she not have an editor? At what point will someone who proofs her new chapters take her aside and say, "uh, hey, you this new stuff? Yeah. Rachel and Ivy have more sexual tension than daytime soaps. This passage here?" *papers shuffling* "This part where Rachel nearly gets shot because she was caught up in how perfect Ivy's behind is? That's gay. No, ma'am. It's not platonic. She's still thinking about the kiss, and that happened four books ago. I believe that you mentioned it a total of 22 times in the first 10 chapters."
