Okay, first off, is it just me, or does it seem like Nora only reacts to things a few lines after they happen in her conversation with Scott? The pace just seems really off to me, and it's making me think Nora can't keep up with the conversation because her brain keeps overheating.
Second of all, hi, Fitzpatrick, I'm a girl who's on the heavy side. Everyone in my family is. I'm not always on a diet, but I do try to make good food choices. I don't eat fast food or snack between meals, and I'm uncomfortable eating at all in front of people because of the heavy girl = pig stereotype. So thanks a lot for reinforcing it.
Finally, the thing with the ring seems kind of ham-handed and dumb, but if it's actually a sign of plot, I'll take it, because this book has been really pointless thus far.
