I've been linked to by tvtropes.org! (For the Hothouse Flower review.) I'm so proud!
Also the main TV Tropes page for Hothouse Flower lines up pretty well with my review, too. Most of that's just that there are serious problems with the work which should jump out at anybody who reads it, but my review does make specific references to the terms or ideas behind:
- All Women are Lustful,
- Chick Lit,
- Easily Forgiven,
- Karma Houdini,
- Lifetime Movie of the Week,
- Magic Realism,
- Manipulative Bastard,
- Misplaced Vegetation,
- The Sociopath,
- The Stoner,
- Surfer Dude,
- Tuckerization, and
- Willing Suspension of Disbelief.
So very happy.

Congratulations "Caustic Critic"!
I sometimes wish I had had less of an emotional, repulsed reaction and more calculated response to that book.
I sometimes wish I had never heard of it in the first place.
But my beau and I still talk about how animated I was while describing why I hated it so--it's kind of become a thing with us. So, at least two good things came out of it!
Congrats!
Congrats!
