Yeah, I wasn't very fond of the mother either. "What? How dare you be CONCERNED that our daughter and her friend will be running around Europe by themselves! So what if we lied to you about what they'd be doing over there? You were never there for her!"

And the daughter wasn't *quite* as bad as her friend. At the very least she had enough sense to call her dad and tell him that the people they were supposed to be with weren't actually there, and then followed his instructions when she was being kidnapped. The friend though...damn.

Would that Be Nice post be the one where she said about the Amazon reviewer who wrote her a bad review and then asked her for a cover quote on a manuscript? Yeah, I had no idea what to make of that.
