Bookwormjillk That was something. But also, ladies, if your man doesn‘t like the way you look when you‘re thinking 🚩🚩🚩#longchapter #somuchtounpack 7mo

Librarybelle So true, @Bookwormjillk ! Maxim is not man of the year in my mind…he probably would not like the look on my face as I was reading that section. 7mo
BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk I would be in so much trouble because I can never seem to shut off my face 🤣🤣🤣 7mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig It's such a Train Wreck of a Chapter. I know what's going to happen and still I yell at Jan 'WHY WOULD YOU TRUST THE EVIL MRS D"⁉️ 7mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig 'Oh don't treat me like a child' as she continually acts like one with the daydreaming and hiding around corners. And the fingers in her mouth and the nail biting makes me crazy. 7mo
Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk 🚩🚩🚩🚩💥 7mo
Ruthiella At this point, I think Jan would have been happier if she‘d married Frank Crawley aka George Glass. 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly Why did she do what Danny said?! Obviously terrible idea! Also obviously terrible: Maxim yelling at her to change and of course never telling her even the slightest clue as to why everyone is so upset. I just hope Frank or Beatrice will explain in the next chapter. 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella Yes, I keep thinking Frank seems like a much better match for her. Maybe she‘ll throw over Maxim! 🤞🏻 7mo
TheAromaofBooks Everything here was absolutely crazy, but I did laugh - yesterday, Jan is like “I may need to feign illness to make sure I don't have to have Christmas with Beatrice's crazy crew“ and today it was “Maxim, did you know Beatrice plays charades at Christmas every year?“ “Yes, that's why I never go“ 😂 😂 😂 So they do have SOME common ground! 😆 7mo
Roary47 Correct me if I‘m wrong. Could she not fire Ms D? Am I correct in understanding that she wore Rebecca‘s dress? I bet she looked pretty, but man they kept telling her to dress as Alice and she just wanted to dress up and feel special. Based on her background I‘m sure this was the first time she could feel pretty in a dress, and Max just burst that bubble. What an emotional hit. 😞 7mo
BarkingMadRead @Roary47 she had the dress made to match a painting of Max‘s great grandmother I think. I‘m guessing that Rebecca once did the same 7mo
peanutnine @Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella she and Frank would be so much better together! They're both so shy and awkward 😅 7mo
julieclair @Roary47 Jan can totally fire Danny. Surely she will, after this? Even though Jan has no spine, she can‘t allow Danny to keep living & working there. Can she? 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Roary47 @julieclair I bet if it even occurs to Jan that she could fire Danny, she‘ll quail at the thought of explaining to Maxim why she wants her gone. Even though I bet he wouldn‘t even listen to any explanation she gave, he‘d just be surprised. She could do it! But she won‘t. 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly @TheAromaofBooks Yes, I thought the same! 😂 7mo
julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly Unfortunately, I believe you‘re correct. Poor Jan… she needs a friend who can give her advice and bolster her courage. 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly @julieclair She needs a therapist! 7mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead And I believe it was the last ball they had at Manderley, so Rebecca's costume would have perhaps still been on everyone's minds--especially Maxim's. 7mo
julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly 💯😂 7mo
ElizaMarie Ugh!!! As soon as I read Mrs D being “nice” and offering suggestions, I assumed there was something wrong. So the whole rest of the chapter I had such anxiety (felt like watching an A24 film😬). I was just hoping to be wrong!!!! But Mrs D = 😈 7mo
