well done. caring and makes a point that thing can get bad and everyone needs help with their problems. just the right amount of reality.
Yes, a replacement for Jess. I don’t understand why Jess would be so pissed at Katie for being stoned. The whole hooker house are addicts, it’s a wonder something didn’t happen sooner. It was just a matter of time before something happened. Plus, the customer was looked after, very well, for free. He certainly can’t complain.
Poof! Like that, Jess is out, Katie is in. Shows us that a wet hole is just a hole. Jess’s manipulations, dishonesty, and hard line don’t matter.
It becomes clear in this chapter that with so many partners and too many drugs that there isn’t much investment in relationships that Jess has in her life. There are too many people getting some of her so she can’t really give important people the real her. Polyamorous fallacy? It is a disappointment to see Jess hasn’t grown by this point in the novel where she can stand by friends and partners.
I agree with all of the previous comments. Please dump Jess (the blackhole) with Katie ASAP!!!
It was about time someone got addicted or had an overdose. Jess's lack of compassion/understanding is beyond astonishment, especially since she had her own meltdown. John is always there when one of them is trouble and immediately takes the plane if necessary. Katie is normally an absolute doll, but she should thank her lucky stars.
