Think Tall Girl from Netflix. Her love interest made a sudden turn at the end and it feels so forced that it spoiled the whole story for me. Like Disney with the shock factor in Frozen with Anna's love interest. I mean, really? Ugh!<br /><br />yeah, poor editing is another. ha!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.elizabethmueller.com/" rel="nofollow">♥.•*¨Elizabeth Mueller¨*•.♥</a><br>Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447552226485618096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-85749772175993045892021-01-06T11:38:03.509-08:002021-01-06T11:38:03.509-08:00Grammar always does it for me.
