    The joke was funny because it's so TRUE!!! Almost everyone who's reviewed this has found Jane off-the-charts annoying. Gretchen and I are loving the reaction.

    Thank you for this great review. xoxox

Wow! WOW! Wow! I love the part about "having a senior moment" and "corn rolls in the hair". My grandma used to say those phrases. I don't know how this trip is going to go with nut job going with them lol. I can't wait to see how that goes. Great writing.

I am so glad that I read this one today after reading all those mournful poems that keep popping up in my inbox. I laughed out loud at your Jewish joke. I've never heard that one.
The "nut job" is the absolute perfect addition to your story. I hope this is not the end, although your last line could be.
I'm reviewing today. I'm expecting another chapter and look forward to it.

Rachelle,
Your exceptional story made me laugh out loud!
Great writing and dialogue.
Are you going to continue with this book? I would like to see how Rebekka reacts to our world.
Great fun, Rachelle!
Best wishes, Cindy

So many good things in this chapter, Rachelle. First of all, great joke! Then I loved your representation of "the nut job" and the idea that the debt is now even with Tova.

Your delight with and reaction to the clothes Tova brought you was very humorous. Then we have the scene with the nervous Rebekah that was very sweet. I also loved this description: "She nods, and I'm sure it's so I don't hear the tears that would be the undertow in her speaking voice."

"The nut job's" manner of speaking was perfect in relating how annoying she is. Please don't bring her to the convention; I have no desire to meet her. Sounds, though, like you have other plans for her since you mentioned another detour. Let's hope she doesn't drive you nuts before you dump her somewhere.

Great chapter all around.

    Thank you for doing that, Sanku. We love having you with us this excursion!

    Have you and your loved ones been okay, though? That's a big stretch to be away. I hope it was bc you were on a fab vacation. Xo

OH Lord Rachelle,
Didn't this gal come in her own car? I thought I had read that two cars pulled up. Let her drive her own car if she wants to go to the convention. Frankly, I'm not nice enough to put up with any bullshit from her. I'd lock her out of my car and leave. She sounds like a world class pain in the ass. All you need now is for her to start talking politics and she'll end up with road rash on the side of the freeway somewhere. Interesting addition for sure, but I hate her. Well done gal.
Blessings,
Tom

    The second car was Manny and Tova's. We WISH the nut job had driven separately. Believe it or not, she's going to get even worse. Gretchen wants to leave her @ a rest stop! You and she think a lot alike!! Thanks for the very fun review! Xo

So great to learn your teacher's name. I wonder what your teacher would say about modern vocalists. I find many too shrill to listen to these days.
That's the fun thing about your writing project - that we get to know you and Gretchen a bit more. Now I'm curious as to why this Jane character has tagged along. Perhaps you'll have more Fanstory fun with an anonymous character.

This chapter is hilarious. Adding the nut job character was an unexpected, but creative annoyance. Four women with totally different personalities are going to travel on the road together. Hahaha! You've set this up to be an unimaginable trip. I can't begin to imagine the dialogue, but I look forward to the adventures you have in store for us, your readers. (Glad I'm not in that car) Lol.

    Hahaha! Yes, definitely divergent personalities! I wouldn't last thirty minutes if this were Real Life!! Xo
