This was a fix it fic of the entire show’s fucked up narratives, both on screen and off. 00000006% of Game of Thrones, and that was mostly through gifsets and a really, really terrible joke, and the GoT references in Ship Wrecked were INCREDIBLE. She’s Swedish, she’s a newer actress, she’s fat, she knows herself, and she’s not putting up with any bullshit about her appearance from the showrunners. The unabashedly fearless and deeply self loving heroine, Maria.And the “I don’t want to ruin our otherwise excellent professional and personal relationships by going to Bonetown” made complete sense. For six years they live on that island for months and aren’t going to bone town despite wishing to revisit asap. Oh my gosh, there is so much to love about this book. Devoured the whole book in less than a day. Sarah: Shana, I just tore through Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade. ![]() So, enjoy our absolute squee-party about this book!
