Yeah, it's kind of funny coming into Arrow without the comic background (my comic background is pretty obscure hence crickets on the wikias I admin) and pretty much instantly hating Dinah Laurel Lance. There was about five minutes or so in her last season where she started to grow on me and then, nope, back to wanting her gone (so I really wasn't upset to see her leave other than feeling bad about her family and friends missing her). I did kind of like her when she was with her dad or her sister, not so much her mom, but her dad and sister, yes. I've since seen her in some comics, and I kind of get it. That Dinah Laurel Lance is pretty cool, but they are nothing alike.

So I was pretty much the opposite, but if there is a movie or series based off one of my books, I am soooooo picky. Drives me nuts when they deviate from them. And it's kind of bizarre reading the source material for some of the anime I watch and realizing. . . .yep, the book is always better. However, and this is big, that doesn't mean that the derivitive product can't be absolutely amazing.

Wes. I would adore that ability to match my MC up with Wes. Of all the characters from High School Story, he's probably my favorite. My current MC is with Michael, but if she wasn't I would totally have taken the options that sounded like matchmaking, because it does sort of look that way. My first MC dated Aiden. My second one Maria. My fourth will date Emma and my fifth, Caleb. . . whenever I get around to fourth and fifth runs, which will be after book 2 is done. Considering Wes, Autumn, Payton, and Frank are all currently free agents (unless you paid diamonds to help Payton and Frank), it is plausible that any one of them could become an LI. Although if they keep Wes and Autumn broken up, I suspect she'll be paired back with Julian. They've laid ground for that potential. On the other hand if Wes and Autumn get back together, maybe Julian will finally get over her and he'll become a new LI.

Much as I would love Maxwell to be a LI for TRR, I'm not holding my breath unless they give us a third book. I have theories on how they could continue TRR into a third book and honestly, right now I don't see how you get a happy ending with Drake or Hana unless there is a third book, because everything is working toward making you the queen and if you are going to end up with Drake or Hana, that won't work. So if they do a third book, one where things are open to an ending that doesn't involve the MC being queen, but also saves the Beaumont house from financial ruin, I could see a chance for Maxwell as an LI. And I think someone was thinking about it at some point, because there is a +Relationship for only five characters, the three love interests, Olivia, and Maxwell. There is only one for Maxwell, but there still is one and honestly, to me that's kind of a big deal, because it implies that there was thoughts there. Maybe they were abandoned, but maybe they were postponed. I'm hoping the latter, because I would love for Maxwell to be a choice.

We have confirmation of a new LI in the Sophomore? Interesting. I wonder who it is. Considering the current situation, I'm kind of wondering if it will be Sebastian. He's almost definitely going to get started on a redemption arc. Or does that mean Becca? Because I've read things that imply that you aren't actually able to date her yet. I haven't tried, so I don't know. I know at least two of your love interests can be set up with other people if you don't date them and want to set them up, so maybe their idea is to bring in fresh potentials. If they are indeed doing that, I hope they make it so that you can choose to end things with your current love interest and have the chance to pick someone new (any of the unattached love interests, not just the new one) rather than making you just stay single for five books in order to date them or else loose all your choices through the series by not carrying them over. And if they do that, I hope they do it in such a way that if you don't want to break things off, there is no drama between you and your love interest, but if you do decide to break things off, it doesn't come as a shock to your love interest. There's an actual reason. And I hope they don't have you cheat on your love interest in order to get the new love interest.
