Your Harry/Murphy feelings are *obviously* clouding your judgement!
Oh, well, probably I'm the one living in denial then
I think Molly is great, now. I mean, for the first time she actually felt like a real person to me, thanks to this book. I finally felt empathy toward her.
The whole teacher/apprentice thing does rub me the wrong way, but not as much as the fact that he knew her since she was a little girl. And I get it, now she is a woman, or at least, she's getting there and I love that. She's kick ass, she touch, she's sexy, etc.
But even if I try to forget all the supposely "issues", I still don't see how all the good parts automatically make her a match to Harry.
I don't feel a natural flow in the story that says to me: yeah, it's going in that direction. It feels forced to me.
But again, maybe I'm the one living in denial
I'm cool with it
