The Narah plotline would have been so much better if she had stayed brainwashed into the next (theoretical) book. But Reika knows about her past and Narah's connection to Chase but won't say anything. Boom, group conflict.

Non specific spoiler for ch 19 of John rich and the big picture.

[okjohnrich]

Update this week! Ch. 19 "John's"

GET READY!!! After John blows up his life with some expert stand-up comedy and finally kisses the boy, now what? John is wearing his lucky Garfield underwear and John and Tyler have the evening to themselves...

I wouldn't read this chapter at work.

With over 100 comments, chapter 18 has the single most number of crazed response of any chapter, lmao, but I'm hoping chapter 19 beats it. PLEASE.

More about it under the cut:

John Rich & The Big Picture is a very funny story about a very anxious man hurtling towards his soulmate at 200 mph.

At 28, John Rich is the youngest cover artist in the illustrious history of The New York Review. This means, every week, he draws a portrait of some notable person and this portrait becomes the cover of this very prestigious magazine. But when John is tasked with drawing the supposedly vapid (and obviously gorgeous) action movie star, Tyler Hughes, he discovers that Tyler is the one person he cannot draw. 

Idiot enemies to idiot best friends to idiot lovers

Grumpy (he's anxious and an arrogant bitch)/Sunshine (he's actually just a people pleaser and class clown)

PINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slow burn with "fuck yeah" payoff moments 😭🙏❤️

PLOT & WORLDBUILDING. aka other STUFF HAPPENS!

They have to work together

The purest nerd/jock romance ever, like we squeezed thousands of nerd/jock fruit for single drop of nerd/jock essence

#romcom with lots of #com!
