I feel like the age gap probably means they compare themselves less than sisters with a more normal age gap would? Idk maybe I’m wrong. I remember once Jessie said that she’s never jealous of Bebe like she is with others in the same industry and always just feel happy for her successes - and I think it must probs also be bc they do have such a big gap, I’m not sure that would be the case if they were maybe 2 or 3 years apartI got bad vibes about the pics of J & B all dressed up they looked beautiful but so tiny and I just felt I bet they are comparing themselves. You forget there’s an age gap there
I really don’t think Alfie is objectively better looking than Bebe?!
they’re both very attractive people but if we’re talking broad strokes then he’s much scruffier and would be less appealing to most people, I think, whereas she is a very slim and beautiful young woman which ticks more people’s boxes.
anyway we can all agree it’s weird regardless
Interesting, find these comments quite surprising but guess that goes to show it really is in the eye of the beholder. Though tbf I do agree that Alfie looks v scruffy and less appealing these days and has left himself go while Bebe definitely styles herself well and does really flattering makeup. I guess it’s more potential wise than how they actually currently look. I do think Alfie looked really good when him and Jessie first got together (eg in attached pic)When you mentioned Bebe and Alfie being in different leagues I was so sure you were suggesting that Bebe’s way ‘above’ his! I think she’s stunningly beautiful and he really isn’t to me.
Absolutely still in agreement with you that his open fascination with her is really grim.
YES. You’ve just named who it is he reminds me of but I couldn’t get to who if that makes sense?He gives me the same kind of vibes as another comedian, Sean Walsh, who gaslit his girlfriend and told her she was crazy for suspecting him of cheating until he was photographed kissing his strictly dance partner.
Exactly what I expectedI was considering getting it but I read the extract that's available on Amazon and now I don't think I'll bother. It seems like a lot of 'I'm so insecure and jealous of my perfect sister blah blah blah,' the writing is nothing special and she does this annoying thing of writing dialogue like it's a play or tumblr post or something like:
me: you're just doing that to annoy me
her: I'm energising my soul
me: you're soul doesn't need energising
So unnecessary! You should be able to tell who's speaking without spelling it out like that.
Also it's called a prologue not a prelude. Don't know why an editor didn't pick up on that
Obviously I only read a few pages and I'm not saying the whole thing is bad but it's not my thing.
Loool I listened to the first few chapters on Scribd (happy I didn't pay for it specifically) but you're right - the whole : Me, Her, Me way of speech was ridiculous. Especially hearing Bebe read it aloud and it not being words on the page made it even worse!I was considering getting it but I read the extract that's available on Amazon and now I don't think I'll bother.

Agreed. I actually stopped listening which isn’t like me.This week's podcast/Q&A was pretty dull.
I did listen to all of it but I was doing other things so didn't give it my full attention.Agreed. I actually stopped listening which isn’t like me.
It’s sad that it’s affected her so much and she isn’t able to grow from it because she still clearly is restricting herself now - she’s very slim. I also worry about the message that it puts across to others if she’s like, this is what I experienced and I’m conforming to it still despite recognising how problematic it is.I've not read the book yet. Debating whether to pick it up or not, so might wait for someone else to do so and then I'll make a decision.
Anyone catch her comments on Harry Potter in The Independent? About her weight issues on the last film? Thoughts?
"If I'd stayed thin – unnaturally thin, unhappily thin – I would have probably got more acting roles, and then I wouldn't have started writing. And then I don't know who I would be now because writing is who I am," she shared. "I'm almost grateful that I gained all that weight."I've not read the book yet.
