I'm happy Kitsy's conflicts with Amber and Hands are being resolved now, even if they feel pretty contrived.

Annika serving as a reminder that Kitsy needs to reevaluate what's important to her at home? That's fine with me. Her serving as conflict to drive the latter and Tad apart? That's contrived.

I think I'm getting to the point where I'm finding Kitsy's internal conflict's monotonous. While I can still get behind it, Heasley's rehashing the same thoughts per chapter, and they're on the longer side.

In interacting with Kitsy after the clay mishap, I can see Mr. Picasso's growing on her. Even though she's missing the scholarship meeting to hang out with Tad, I think it'll prove possible in Kitsy's future. She just needs to believe in herself more.

That fight Kitsy and Hands had proves the latter is definitely clingy.

I can't decide if Tad following Kitsy to make sure she got home safely was nice like she thought it was or a little creepy.
