It appears Jane is trying to write what she wished had happened. I wonder if she changes the ending after the re-writes. I can't honestly imagine how J/M getting a happy ending in her book is remotely interesting. But since Jane is re-writing history, I'm guessing that Rose hasn't been caught?

Yeah, Jane is literally rewriting history with her book. I guess it makes sense. But I don't see how any agent or publisher would accept that book. That's what's going to be hardest to swallow, that anyone would want to publish the J/M story even if it's rewritten.

we know Jane has a tendency to rewrite history. We talked about how she treats her history with Rafael is not normal. Like she literally tried to overwrite it, erase it, pretend it never happened when she got back with Michael. Now she wrote her book in such a way that an editor couldn't guess they were ever in love until Jane mentions Josephine loved him.

I am glad she had to go back and rewrite her parts with Rafael.

As for the ending, I hope she ends up changing it int he future.

So she never publishes Alba's story? I liked her original idea to make a multigenerational novel. Her and Rafael's story could be the third part of it.

I guess if Jane keeps reimagining her life with Michael, that's how they could insert Brett Dier into the show, if he's not leaving.

Oh yeah. I guess not. Michael would die before she would get around to finishing that book. And I understand why she would want to write about her and Michael instead. Either she does a really bad job writing about them where it doesn't seem like the story is about them at all or their story is so boring that the editor doesn't care about their love. Because the narrator mentions twice that I remind you the book is about Jane and Michael.

You're right. I wasn't thinking about the timeline. Hey, I could be a JTV writer.

Seriously, I'd abandon a book I was writing if a catastrophe like that happened. It does make sense that Jane would write about them. I guess, I just can't see them as book worthy no matter what Jane does to them. Of course, she has to render J/M unrecognizable.

I noticed in the sides that when Jane starts the re-writes, she is reluctant to write more about Rafael. Maybe because she did just want this to be about Michael. But given everything, I really hope it will give Jane a chance to both explore her relationship with Rafael and say goodbye to Michael. i think giving them the happy ending they didn't get in real life is the worst thing Jane could do. It will only make her pain worse in the long run. I know its harsh in this case but in general, Jane has a tendancy to focus on what her life should be rather than apprieciating it for what it is. She needs to use this book to process and eventually, let go.

I'm a bit worried about Jane's rewrite of her book. It seems too good to be true for J/R fans. Haven't we always said it would ideal if she discovered her love for Rafael through her writing. I feel a little like Charlie Brown when Lucy takes the ball away. We've gotten our hopes up about J/R many times before only to get kicked in the teeth.

But thematically, the writers have been setting up the ground work for this arc. Remember in S2, the narrator said J/R were the perfect romance novel but warned that this is not a romance novel. There was also an episode where J/M were in a rose-colored bubble. All of the "most romantic night ever" co-opting of S2 was probably Jane just trying to re-write her love story with Michael in place of Rafael. In fact, wasn't there an episode where she wished she never got with Rafael and imagined her life that way- a la Sliding Doors?

With Michael dying, it now seems more clear. All of the stuff that pissed us J/R people off so much was just Jane wishing she didn't love Rafael as much as she does. The notes from Jeremy seem to fortify this theory. I'm trying not to get super excited. With another season, I'm sure J/R are further away than I have the patience for.
