🦇 How to Plot a Payback Book Review 🦇

❓ #QOTD What's your favorite sitcom? ❓ 🦇 Even after adjusting career paths and crossing an ocean, screenwriter Finn Masters just can't manage to escape his childhood nemesis. Now he has to work with her on the set of Neighbors, one of Hollywood's longest-running, highest-rated sitcoms. Shining star Lavender Rhodes is completely unaware that she ruined his relationship and destroyed his acting career, though there is something about Finn that keeps pulling her into his orbit. As Finn plots his payback, will he recognize why Lavender is so universally adored...and even fall a little himself?

💜 Melissa Ferguson's prose is sharp, witty, playful, and engaging all in one go. Once you fall into the story, there's no getting out until the end. What seems like a fun little romcom is actually brimming with important messages. As his plot to get payback fails over and OVER, Finn starts to see Lavender in a new light. This story is a prime example of how someone can play the villain in our stories, only for us to appear as a background character. The ending (pre-epilogue) was brilliant and sweet; proof of how much Finn has learned about Lavender once he truly got dragged into her orbit.

💙 While this is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, we don't actually FEEL the emotions bubble and boil over. It's difficult to develop any emotional connection with either main character. Maybe seeing every moment Lavender unintentionally ruined Finn's life as a flashback, instead of as a brief account from Finn, would have added that emotional depth. While this was a slow burn, the actual falling is so sudden that it feels out of place, only for readers to get whisked into a happily-ever-after epilogue. My biggest problem (you've heard this before) was everything related to the sitcom. My gf works in film and the inaccuracies pulled me out of the story every time (no set can survive with so FEW PAs).

🦇 Recommended for fans of Falon Ballard and Ava Wilder.

💬 Quotes ❝ Still, that’s how a story grows: from mistakes that cause consequences that cause realizations. And from digging out of holes. ❞ ❝ Because people can admire the sketch of a perfect person on paper, but they relate to, they love, they hate, they weep for, they root for three-dimensional people with both virtues and vices who grow out of the page. Ashley Krane was too perfect. She needed to become alive. ❞ ❝ She’s so good at ruining my life that of course I should’ve suspected she could ruin my payback. ❞ ❝ “Here’s the thing, Lavender. If there’s one thing I’ve learned of late, it’s that dreams can shift, can change. They grow and evolve into new and different dreams— sometimes fashioned by outside forces, sometimes by change of heart. I’ve learned, from you actually, how my dreams could change due to external forces. And it’s not a bad thing. But this time, it’s a mix. I saw an opportunity, and I reached for it. Sure, I’m going back to a detective series. But I’d do it again in a minute. Because you are my bigger dream now. I don’t care what I’m writing, so long as I get to share my days with you.” ❞

how am i? i’m fine, thank you for asking but did you know erica was all by herself when lucas told her to go get help when the portals were opening? so she was alone, running, and scared…but had to endure the fear anyway bc she saw her friend lying lifeless in her brother’s arms? yeah i’m totally fine LOL 😊

The Ferguson family built this beautiful cobblestone home in 1927. Ben and Margaret Ferguson, along with their 10 children, grew hay and garden vegetables, raised cattle, and planted a small fruit orchard with the help of his oldest sons. Ben built a small gas station and store in 1930 where they sold vegetables and fruit when in season. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic places in 1981. The Ferguson house is significant as an example of cannonball architecture, a building style using local pink granite cobblestones. Cannonball architecture was used in only a few places across the nation where natural cobblestones were plentiful but wood for construction was scarce. Other examples of cannonball architecture are found throughout Comanche County and along Medicine Creek in Medicine Park.

A while back, they cast someone as Cordell's ex-girlfriend from high school and I remember a few posts speculating about what role they might play, but then we haven't heard anything since. Did they just drop that storyline because there was too much going on or do you think they'll come back to it in the final episodes?

I don't know if they even wanted to do anything with it. She just showed up for the alumni day to make everyone uncomfortable. We may have jumped the gun on assuming she would have a real role lol

But it would be interesting if they did come back to it. Like, say, if August started dating her daughter....
