How is no one calling this out for the direct rip off of Columbine dialogue!?
After reading Bright Young Women, I saw this author had written this and I wanted to see what their "original" work was like. The writing in BYW was good, but I really took issue with how the subject matter was used. Apparently, this author has the proclivity for using real world frameworks rather than create her own, to play choose your own adventure with true crime tragedies. I mean, down to the copy paste of dialogue from the Columbine testimonies and transcripts.
"This is like fucking Columbing, Teddy
mumbled from the other end of the table.
Harris slammed his hand twice down on the table above them and said "peek-a-boo"
"Boo!" His face appeared between the chair's elegant claw legs.
"Brooks, I like you now. Get out of here. Go home."
"Get out of here, Beth." The Shark didn't move, and Arthur hunched down, so he was level with her peculiar eyes. I mean it, Beth. I like you."
