miss shell

EVE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A POV INSTEAD OF JAMESON. I love her and I wish we got more of her. She is the more nuanced and complex character in the series. Her talking about Grayson using her, her relationship with Mattias and his mother and Toby would have been so good to read about. At least I think so.

Avery should have saved herself and the kidnapping should have wrapped up within 10 chapters

A reveal on Mattias's father's criminal record and the 14 terrible things he has done. What was the point of emphasising that in GR if it was never addressed again?

Acacia finding out about Sheffield and a public reveal on what actually happened to him. If they can announce that Toby is dead why can't they do the same with Sheffield?

Jameson and Grayson having a proper conversation on that happened on Hawthorne Island. I get that Jameson acknowledged that his brother and Lyra were not completely in the wrong but that needs to be said verbally. Jameson's actions get excused way too much.

Darby should have been Lyra's biological mother. The whole plot line with Katalin being Lyra's mom was do dumb and unnecessary.

Tomas should have been dead. If alive he should have been a better person. Him being nothing more than a dead beat is very cliche considering that's how every dad in this series is (except Isaiah). He should have gotten an arc where he was a good man who made a series of bad decisions leading to a bad outcome. Lyra deserved a better reveal than her father just randomly talking to her over FaceTime.

Odette's relationship with Tobias. This is one of the main reasons why I continued the series, I needed to know what actually went down between these two and we never really found out. Her and Alice interacting would have been so interesting to read about.

Lyra should have used her street smarts to escape Hawthorne house, that would have been so epic. And it would have humbled Nash for thinking their security was top notch.

Grayson should have crashed out at his family for their selfishness

Lyra should have crashed out at Jameson for the way he was treating her

Lyra should have punched Jameson in the face. WHY ARE ONLY THE MEN ALLOWED TO THROW PUNCHES IN THIS SERIES???

Savannah and Grayson should have had a proper conversation on the whole Sheffield situation. We should have seen Savannah actually grieve her father, as trashy as he was.

Lyra, Eve and Nora in one room and Grayson walks in and gets incredibly uncomfortable, and Eve teases him for squirming.

Emily should have stayed dead.

The story was too crowded by the number of characters there, it should have only been the ones introduced in the beginning of TGG.

Eve should have shot Toby. As a feminist I support women's rights and wrongs.

if on season 3 of the tig show, after the last episode is over, theres a little “epilogue” of sorts. it starts with grayson and a text over top, saying “a year later” (or however long of a gap there was between the tig series and the brothers hawthorne). instead of being at home like it was in the book, graysons at his office. somebody tells grayson that theres a call for him, and he goes and answers it.

“hello?”

and then we see the very beginning of grayson and lyras first conversation, up until the part where he asks “to whom am i speaking?”

then, maybe we get a little pan to a girl not facing the camera with a phone pressed to her ear, who says “you’re speaking with someone from whom the hawthorne family has taken a great deal.”

and then thats it.
