I agree, it will probably be very HOT oriented.
What I do wonder is: How is it going to go if we went to Bella in chapter 4?
I mean, when you go with Derek it's Dik oriented and tightly linked to the HOTs.
And going to Sage the freaking HOTs president ? I'm not even going to talk on that one.
Bella and Jill doesn't really have a connection to them, except maybe an indirect one thanks to the preps.
So I'm really curious how this route will play out. Will it be a totally broken branch and the narrative or will it reconnect somehow.
Maybe an unknown relationship between Jill and Sage? after all Sage's father is a former prep. It would not be that much of a strech to think that both fathers went to B&R at the same time and both being preps.
I vaguely remember Sage commenting on one of Jill's cluck too.
Anyway, what Mona's mystery ?
