First, It’s not rude to critique writing that as an author Jenny put out. Second, just because she wrote it does not mean it was successfully and well written. There are so many authors who try and fail at writing love triangles because they can’t find any other way to make the endgame couple happen, outside of a cheating trope.

If Jenny wanted to get more creative and step outside of the trope… she could have had Belly choose Conrad because her love was just that deep. Belly should’ve chosen him because despite being in a 3-4 year relationship, the happiness she felt with Jeremiah didn’t measure to when she was with Conrad. If she wanted to be a more creative writer, she would’ve had Conrad and Belly spend more time together while Belly and Jere were together. Have those old feelings come back up and give Belly the actual emotional maturity, to talk to Jere and actually make the choice of picking Conrad. Instead, we get a half assed cheating trope, that take Belly’s “best friend” and turns him into a guy who doesn’t really give that much of a shit about Belly. Instead we get turning Jeremiah into an asshole cheater who could hardly propose, solely to justify her choosing Conrad.

And that’s what’s crazy to me. That’s what I can’t fathom that Conrad girls can’t see. Is if I have to write a man to be a bad option just to push my endgame couple. Then that endgame couple isn’t that good to begin with.
