Schemes and Dreams

this is awesome - I love how each character has a really distinctive and individual voice, like i feel like after reading this I'd be able to tell who's talking even if you never explicitly said. I'm interested in them all, and LOVE Mimi, but I have a particular interest in Octavia's story. I'm a sucker for a bit of crazy neighbour drama - she sounds like she's going through it. And I had a laugh at the story of how they chose Orange's name - it's so ridiculous, but exactly how I imagine it goes down in Hollywood. I wonder is that a nod to Chris Martin & Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple, whose name I always thought was the pinnacle of famous-person silliness.
