Nothing’s Reviews > Long May She Reign > Status Update

It's taking me forever to read this & I don't know why. Nothing wrong with the book, I've just been really tired and I read less when tired.

Of all the things that she's done that justify everyone in her dorm hating her, it's THIS!? Jesus, they're acting like she outed Susan to the media herself. Susan took the gig knowing the press would be around & she has the balls to be mad at Meg for the media vultures doing what they do best; barrell ahead regardless of privacy or consequences. Blame the press, not their other victim!

I never thought of Jack as a phallic name, LMAO.

I think she's more used to having everyone humor her and edit themselves around her than she realizes. Seems like even her family & Beth tolerate a lot more shit than they should from her, even before the incident. It definitely reaffirms my determination to never use my PTSD to justify otherwise unjustifiable bitchiness.

The fact that Meg had made ANY "worst dressed" lists (much less MULTIPLE lists) is a sadly typical of the Mean-Girls-esque catty nastiness of the style press (nevermind what passes for regular press!) But think about it, she's recovering (physically & mentally) from a traumatic experience & nobody thought insulting her preference for comfort while recuperating MIGHT be tasteless- at best.

While I can relate 100% with her ptsd & self-imposed isolation & watching friends live as you die inside. But it's as hard as always to feel much sympathy for her, before she invariably slips in to überbitch mode & snaps at everyone who has the audacity to ask how she's feeling (which is inevitable when you're not doing well mentally or physically). Then wallows in self pity about being alone & having no life.
