What I liked most is that there wasn't really a friendship thinly veiled by jealousy or power play - she was just an acquaintance had an nothing to lose in her moment of pique.

If it's not there, I usually drop the book and start on another.<br /><br />As for your friend Rosie, well, SHE is TOOOOO hysterical. She's crass, spoiled, expects too much from people. She wants her cake and eat it too AND remain a size 4. <br /><br />Your descriptions are wonderful.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-32282483312774667982012-09-22T18:31:14.077+10:002012-09-22T18:31:14.077+10:00Rosie's back and how..!

I'm glad you like my new character, Ramona Slope. She is a combination of several people. I love redheads, and jumped at the chance to write a story about a rather wild one. <br />Friendship is indeed a fruitful ingredient in stories. Once again, you have made visible something that is true but often overlooked.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Anna<br />For the benefit of other readers:<br /><a href="http://annas-adornments.blogspot.se/2012/09/how-i-hate-my-beautiful-friend-rfw.html" rel="nofollow">RFW No. 45 - 'Oh how I hate my beautiful friend'</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-69401293668105654832012-09-21T06:10:27.396+10:002012-09-21T06:10:27.396+10:00Hi Charmaine

In my epic fantasy, it is friendship that blinds one of them into self sacrifice.<br /><br />Love Rosie. I can so relate to the critical eye. I'd tell her about Weight Watchers where you can have cake if you'd like. But that's a whole other story. For yours, well written, the garbage guy ain't right for her. Well done.<br />NancyN. R.
