lol, I had already completely forgotten that tidbit, and was "wait, what?" Just shows how interesting their relationship is.
Oh, I know. Ivy/Glenn is so stupid. Nobody thinks that's going to work. Ivy is too obviously in love with Rachel for another romantic interest to stand a chance. As long as Ivy is in that church, living and working with Rachel, and being utterly in love with her, there's no point in putting a romantic interest on the scene for her because it's clearly useless.
I wonder if Kim will go the route of some fanfic authors, where there will be so much gay that it will be absolutely hilarious, but Rachel will still think she's completely, 100%, straight.
You know what, I feel like she's already reached this level.
I just can't take Rachel's other romantic interests seriously, and Ivy/Glenn is just mind-blowingly cock-blocky. I feel if you looked cock-block up in the dictionary, a picture of Ivy/Glenn should be there.
It's just that at this point, Rachel has already proven herself to be really, really, really gay for Ivy. I mean there is really nothing ambiguous about it, and so her denials of an attraction and her unwillingness to at least TRY a relationship are so ridiculous that you have to laugh or cry about it.
Lots of other shit has been going on in their lives for a long time now, but with book 7 gone, I really feel like we're at a point in the series where Rachel needs to just deal with that shit. She clearly has feelings for Ivy, and now it's just really, really annoying that she's still in denial. Why? She's not homophobic, her friends aren't, her mother isn't, Ivy is head over heels, self-sacrificingly in love with her ... so why does she still deny it? I don't get why she does anymore. In the beginning she was uncertain and confused, but now Rachel's just being a stubborn douche about the whole thing.
Honestly, it really bugs me that Rachel would give a ghost trapped in the body of one of the most annoying people ever who she's know for like a month a chance, before she would give Ivy a chance.
This Rachel-candy, purposefully making bad decisions, turning a blind eye, thing that Rachel has going on is really a form of character assassination. Rachel's a character who I liked a lot in the beginning, but the more that she pulls these shenanigans the more I dislike her.
She's that friend that you have that is constantly in emotional crisis and pulling you into their messy lives because they thrive on drama and constantly need their life to be in crisis. Friends like that are annoying as hell, and Rachel is becoming annoying as hell too.
