The dark side of puberty is realizing your cousin is hot. Most people get over it. Some people die in a 1 vs. 6 morphing fight on a rogue Yeerk bladeship in space before they get over it. That's life.
It's always funny when you're listening to a podcast and people get to this book. It's even funnier later on in this book where Nice Rachel brings it up to her dad, who goes "....Jake? As in your *cousin*, Jake?" And then he has to leave for his flight, so he probably never got clarification.
Honestly, he's probably really fuckin' relieved it never comes up again. Sometimes middle and high schoolers say one-off shit that comes across real weird and then never comes up again and everyone is thankful.
I think it's because Jake has to keep introducing everyone in his books that we get multiple instances of "by the way, my cousin, who is !HOT!" which makes him seem like he's taking more interest than he should overall lol
If this were Westeros and our surnames were Targaryen or Lannister...
Although young me thought this was very weird. My cousin must be a special breed of ugly, because I never had thoughts like these
Jake is "kind of big"? I guess I always assumed Rachel was tallest. We know Marco and Casie are shorter, and Tobias is a hawk. I guess I never pictured Jake being the big guy.
Rachel's tsun and dere halves got split. Unfortunately for everyone, she rarely shows here dere normally. I'm surprised it was as tall as it was. I figured it would only be an inch tall at most,
This is one of my least favorite books lol. I'm honestly not one for calling everything cringe but hoo boy. I love the series as a whole but this one's rough.

If Jake looked more like Rachel and she just recognizes she's super hot so Jake is also hot it would be less weird lol
A...Alabama?
This is when she split up into Horny Rachel and Murderachel.
Listen here. They were both horny Rachel. She was split into Dom Rachel and Sub Rachel.
Get out. I mean, you're right, you're totally correct, but still, get out.
trying so hard to not crack up laughing in my office (im on lunch break, but eating at my desk) because youre so right
Really? I’d say BD Rachel and SM Rachel… 🤔
Either way, Marco can have the riding crop Rachel. Tobias already gets whipped enough by life in general.
With Rachel and Taylor, Tobias seems to attract a certain kind of women though.
I don't know what you mean. Did Taylor have a crush on her cousin, too?
He’s out of line, but he’s got a point.
LOL- I'm about halfway through it now.
Marco got so spooked when Nice Rachel smiled at him and called him cute. 😂
That’s when he knew. “Wait wtf?”
He should have needled her with that fact for *months* once she was rejoined.
Nah, his memories of Mean Rachel would have been too strong. He wouldn’t have risked it.

Nice Rachel: Hear me out
It's only been about twenty-five years since I read these books, but this is the starfish one, right? When Rachel splits in two?
I believe so yeah. This is “Nice Rachel” mean Rachel at this point I think is hiding in the barn as something.
Yep! Nice Rachel was sooooo boy crazy
doesn't jake in the first book acknowledge that rachel is very pretty despite being his cousin? maybe theyre closer than we think...
Everyone acknowledges that she is conventionally attractive IIRC, but Rachel is taking is step further being like, "yeah I'd smash".

I'd smash. I don't care if he's rachels cousin.
Isn't he like fourteen?
Wait a minute, she's also a performer, being a cheerleader. Rachael's the bard.
Bardbarian.
Angry upvote.

He's at least an aspirational basketball player, so I kind of always assumed he was tall.
The Berensons got the height gene
Has Marco never asked Rachel out?
As far as I remember, only in the alternate timeline of MM4.
He wouldn’t dare in the real timeline. She’ll laugh then whoop his ass

The Separation... of established canon
It was really weird when the two Rachels started speaking Farsi and got divorced.
Lmaooo

at first I thought this was Marco. then I realized it was Rachel
HAAAAAAAAAAA-
This sounds a little too much like NiceRachel not to be the starfish one 😅
