- It all starts from her taking advantage of Mick while she’s vulnerable, telling her she’s going take a picture of her while there’s no film in the camera. However, there are multiple, and Veronica knows it.
- She develops all the pictures, and convinces Mick to let her post one of them on Instagram, with a little caption. Unbeknownst to Mick, after Veronica posts the picture, she adds a few tags to get more interaction and then it blows up to the point that she gets a spot at an art gallery for ten photographs from the series she took of Mick.
- She immediately accepts, without asking the person she supposedly likes about how that makes her feel, despite knowing Mick has some sort of phobia around being photographed, almost getting panic attacks just thinking about it.
- When Mick feels uncomfortable after finding out (and after being kicked out by her abusive mom because of the original photo that blew up), she has the audacity to ask her how can’t she see what a big opportunity the gallery is for her, and how it could potentially start her career and get Veronica in a good arts college.
A little dialogue from Veronica that seriously angered me:
“Suddenly, I was angry. “Can you try to be a little more supportive? How do you think it feels that no one noticed my work until I photographed a hot blonde? Do you realize this might be my only chance at this kind of recognition?”
Although it’s a fairly easy read (with noticeable plot holes), the characters felt so far away that I couldn’t really connect with any of them, making them forgettable, and irritable without any sense of self-preservation.
“It’s not that you’ve made these mistakes. You’re a teenager. That’s normal. It’s all this lying. How long have you and Nico been doing these things? It’s—”
