Out of Sight, Out of Time Chapter Twenty-Five

(Spoilers for Out of Sight, Out of Time)
So I've been reading Ally Carter's Out of Sight, Out of Time (I just finished it tonight!) and it was pretty much one of the best-written books ever.... But I had to write about this chapter alone because this is where I thought "Dang, who even knew you could do so much right in just one chapter?"
In the third book in the Gallagher Girls series, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover, Sam Winters is running for president of the United States with Macey's dad as his vice. And Preston Winters is Governor Winters's son. And everyone thinks that's really cute and all. Until later in that book Macey actually kind of starts to like Preston! Which I think is adorable, because they're both kind of misunderstood kids and totally lovable. They're just super cute and Macey deserves that. But hey, I'm getting sidetracked. So after Governor Winters and Macey's dad lost the election, Preston Winters isn't in the stories anymore. Well that's what you think until you read this book and this chapter of this book and out of nowhere here's Preston Winters and he's seen Cammie over the summer and out of nowhere he's suddenly a significant character again! Ally Carter, it seems you miss nothing. Nothing at all.
And it doesn't stop there. Because after all the chaos of this chapter and I won't go into all the glorious details here, Preston shows the things Cammie left behind when she was staying with Preston that summer.
We all know what the point of I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You was. Cammie was writing a CoveOps report for the thing that had happened between her and Josh that semester. Preston pulls out a passport and a book. Cammie knows that book because it's the CoveOps report she wrote sophomore year fall semester and that's awesome Ally Carter you are the best writer on the earth!
And that's just that chapter. It gets better from there. If you want to follow my book reviews you can do so here.

Gallagher Girls

So I just finished reading and rereading some of the Nancy Drew books.....
Nancy Drew started in 1930 and heck were those first few books just adorable and I loved them so much. But did we need 350 books after that and still going strong? But I guess that going strong isn't exactly accurate because Nancy Drew books haven't been good for a while. When the first books came out they were one of the cutest ideas in the world of literature. Now, they are one of the world of literature's biggest mistakes.
I'm going to start rereading the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter, about Cammie Morgan who goes to the Gallagher Academy, a school for spies. I read the first four back when there were only four and I was sure she would end the series there. It felt so closed to me. My friend thought that it could go either way. Maybe Ally would write another, maybe she wouldn't. But I was sure she wouldn't. When she wrote another, I was actually mad. I thought that the series was over! It felt over!
Now there are six books in this series and I am excited to finish it. I'm starting at the beginning though, with I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You. I will stand by the fact that this series is the best chick lit ever written. I'm excited!

Blind Dates Are Just Real-Life OTPs

This is something that I realized a bit ago.
Blind dates, when somebody sets you up on a date with a person you don't know. I hear they are awful. Why would anyone ever put their friends through this? Because they are hardcore shipping their two friends together and it just needs to be a thing.
People just get immense joy out of imagining how cute two people would be if they were together. The next time someone thinks you're weird for having an OTP (my friends laughed at me so hard when I said that Flynn and Rapunzel were my Disney OTP and then they asked what an OTP was), just remember that people outside of the fandom world do it too, even if they don't know it.
And just think, when you go on a blind date and it's just really terrible, it's kind of like when you ship a couple that the author didn't actually write. That's crazy.
