    I was rooting for Gwen/Harmony. I realize that this is not the sort of book that would ever end with two women getting together. Nevertheless, if I were the sort to write fanfiction for a book I have not and frankly do not care to ever read, the two of them would be endgame. They honestly seemed to be the only people with any kind of positive chemistry at all. And Harmony's kid keeps running to Gwen (despite thinking she's ugly) so I mean... this thing practically writes itself.

    Relationship Chart (Because I’m bored and why not)

    Harmony: Likes Alex, dates him but cheated on him, got pregnant, and is now back together with Alex
    Paul: Has been set up with Gwen for a date, dated Harmony, still likes Harmony
    Alex: Dated Gwen, Found our he was a father, got over Gwen, Went back to his cheating baby mama, thanks Gwen for changing Harmony
    Best Friend: Dated her boyfriend (AKA the Roadie), maybe pregnant, stop liking the roadie, marries the Lakers guy after 10 minutes of knowing him in Vegas
    Best Friend’s BF: Is (was?) dating the best friends, now being a roadie
    Laker’s Guy: Marries the Best Friend and knows Harmony
    Ok. Now the world is complete
    Also here’s the rundown of what happened literally point 2 seconds after I got finished typing this:
    Alex: Co parenting with Harmony, because of a terrible relationship
    Harmony: Got pregnant by another man, and is now a faithful wife to him
    Paul: Impregnated Harmony
    Child: Spilling ALL the tea
