reading a pile of books; nor did she ever mention
However, she couldn’t fail to notice that over the family holidays of 1988, Thanksgiving and Christmas, there was apparently no place on earth where Maggie Horvath was expected, nor did she ever mention any normal, conventional regret at not being able to join her family for one reason or another. Maggie, looking not at all depressed, spent the long weekends sleeping late, puttering in her tiny kitchen, reading a pile of books, going alone to movies, and devouring with gratitude the leftovers Polly brought back from the big Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to which she'd been invited.
Was she an orphan? Polly wondered.

readers (even one New York Times reviewer) seem to like this book, for a variety of reasons.

As far as I can tell, the first to actually Take Manhattan were the Muppets. Manhattan has passed between many hands since then. Leonard Cohen and Jennifer Warnes first threatened to take it from the Muppets in 1986, as did Judith Krantz, but it wasn't actually taken, as far as I can tell, until Jason (the slasher) took it in 1989. From then it passed around a while, mostly through TV Shows (Adrian Monk took it in the early 2000s, for example.)
Then, at some point in 2010, Degrassi took Manhattan, followed shortly thereafter by The Angels in 2012 (the Dr. Who ones, not the Charlie's ones). I assume someone has taken Manhattan since, but I can't immediately find any information on who the current possessor of Manhattan is.
I must know, so I can take Manhattan. I don't know what I'll do with it once I've got it but I would like to know who I should be taking it from.

Andd...
Been wanting to do this one for a few days....
Umm....here’s the thing----it’s pretend. The show doesn’t have to “have anything for this ship” because they’re together because the writers say so. The end....
And, even if not....plenty (most) IRL couples meet, get together, fall in love, etc generally as adults with NO shared background, whatsoever. There are also couples who perhaps knew each other as children and fell in love as adults.
Any of it works.
Jizzy is in the past and yes, was beautifully filmed, because that was the narrative at the time.....and, honestly, we also had Slizzy’s mind elsewhere, seemingly still moping after Douchie and in 20/20 retrospect, WAS always using Jug as a placeholder---cuz she’s a shitty person.
So’s Douchie....it’s what the show has for them. Two full bore, admitted assholes who deserve each other. Works for me. The bird, BTW, is not why they’re together----it’s merely a memory alluding to how Slizzy isn’t the literal worst. She is and so’s Douchie....but the writers tried.
Just because we aren’t shown them discussing this shit (and they have and did a bit----Slizzy had confessed to cold blooded murder and Douchie was cool with it), doesn’t mean they don’t.....because, dude, that’s boring.
And isn’t something they did a whole with Jizzy, either....I get YOU think navel contemplation makes for awesomely amazingly fantastic teevee, but no and most peeps don’t. Especially on a mystery show.
Also, you now legit whimpering about how a ship is doomed because you don’t dig their backstory.
Oh and they’re now seemingly 26. Learn to fucking math, moron.
Umm....
A) “Long run”??? It was the end of last ep. Apparently it meant a lot to Slizzy herself
B) So you’re legit admitting now Slizzy IS a psycho killer? Plus the implication here is it was while Hal was grooming her, so your point fails, anyway. And if you ARE admitting she’s a psycho killer, then Jug doesn’t deserve to deal with that violent mess, either.
C) Douchie doesn’t remotely act that way----if you think he does, then you think Jug did. Plus, again, if you DO think she’s a psycho killer, then she needs neither dude and should be back in therapy. Or prison
D) Oh sweet jeebus. Not the same words, actually, Douchie’s was (sorry) moar effective, cuz he said he saw that she fought and had never stopped fighting against it.
E) Vermin’s also a cold blooded, murderous sociopath. Soooo....nope. And pretty sure Douchie got that Slizzy (like himself) had just fully fessed to being a stone cold killah
F) An “OUTLET”???? For being a psychopathic killer? Ummmmm.....and no. In fact, Locky, do you even watch the show?
Plus, again, all y’all ever do is make the case for why, yes, theoretically, Jug IS better for Slizzy (he’s a better person, so obviously)---but fully negate how Slizzy is everrrr remotely good for HIM (and since she sent him spiraling down a deep path of darkness, she isn’t)
These are dummmmm additions and I’m a dummmm bitch. Douchie does NOT idealize Slizzy.....actually, that was Jug.....even as she cheated on him and stole credit for HIS work and ideas. Oh and you guys....
She didn’t “try and confront Douchie”....but yes, she does idealize him....and is with him because she thinks the Barfie Dreemhouse will cleanse her. Actually, they aren’t and they do work. They’re both violent, elitist fascists....so yeah, it kinda does.
Plus didn’t you use to insist Jizzy worked because “opposites attract”???
I love the concept that “something pretend didn’t work in a pretend story where OFC it works, because it’s pretend”-----from the moron still writing a weird fantasy Cape Cod world as an uber budget Judith Krantz, whose writing skills remain arrested in middle school.
We’ve been given to know, frankly, all along....that Slizzy’s basically repressed the bulk of her childhood. She’s NEVER actually raised a memory of her own thru the series run. It’s always from her diary, somebody else, etc.....and generally, we’re told she’s fully forgotten them. To the point of peeps suggesting she had brain damage/memory loss. It’s part of why I thought they were gonna go fullbore Michelle Remembers with The Farm storyline.
There was no reason to show one post time jump, we’ve seen Slizzy presenting herself and are meant to think this has always been her “falling in love”
Oh good lord, fucking enough about Paulie
They didn’t
Didn’t have to be the case, dude.
Nope, again, you watch a different show and want your fanfic.
Dude, the writers have never shown anybody’s bond. Even for OG Jizzy, what we had was that SH had nice chemistry (and turns out sex was the primary driver of their IRL relationship, anyway) and everybody wanted poor Jug to be happy. In reality, again, we also always had, excepting the finale, Slizzy weighing her options.
That you ignored it is not my problem (to quote your kween).
Plus here’s the thing......you don’t have to like Barfie, I don’t.....but it’s still canon and likely what you’re gonna be stuck with. At least for quite awhile....and even then #nojizzy4u
No, you just don’t like the show.....at which point, don’t watch. And while I agree Barfie IS grody, Barfies don’t feel that way.
And Jizzy’s done....likely 4evah.....because your kween can’t control herself. Time to suck it up

DR. SINGLE DAD
Louise Bay
Release Date: April 11
My Amazon Review: https://www.amazon.com/review/RKRO3GOX3Z2XS/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv
My GR Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6411990205?book_show_action=false
AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
Unexpected fatherhood, a newborn daughter and a nanny in the next bedroom he can't stop fantasizing about.
When a one-night stand announces I just became a father to a baby girl, my world is thrown into turmoil.
My choice: single fatherhood or sign adoption papers.
The decision is easy.
Within hours, I'm on a plane to collect my daughter.
I’m in over my head. I barely know one end of a baby from the other. Luckily, I have the perfect plan. I’ll hire live-in help, have limited involvement with the kid, and keep my life just the same as it’s always been.
I finally find a nanny who lives up to my exacting standards. But the only problem is, every time I look at her, the future I thought I wanted starts to crumble.
Nothing in my life is going according to plan… and the wriggling poo machine in my arms is unexpectedly worming her way into my heart.
Life was ordered and logical until I got myself two roommates and started falling in love with both of them.
A standalone romance.
