rod makes me so so insane even all these years later. logan who believes the lie that he’s more cutthroat than he is, lying to himself that he’d cut and run when it was time, only to cling to scraps of affection. mona who doesnt carry the same defensiveness about trust that colt and logan do, who refused to let herself be tied down, taking the fall for a pretty girl once more, finally finding someone worth trusting. colt watching his father burn up and wish only that his son escapes a life he never knew any differently from, only for his death to solidify colt’s reclamation of it.

Of the hundreds of headcanons post Ride or Die, Colt running a successful business and getting engaged to the mayor’s daughter was NOT one of them
Also! @omgjasminesimone wrote the series on Logan and the MC in Mexico! One of my favorites!

‘There are some older books that would probs be single LI books if they were released now. The ones I immediately thought of were ROD with a GOC Logan, TRR/H/F with a GOC Liam, and OH with a GOC Ethan.’

okay here's the thing i'm even more ??? that rod 2 didn't happen now. bc that plot makes a lot of sense and it doesn't sound like it would have gotten a third book or like it would have needed one based on the description.
i think that the logan and mona romances are pretty linear here and make the most sense with the story, but that's what i've always found so interesting about colt is that he's the outlier. i've always been torn on if he'd take his dad's sacrifice in vain or not and go legit or not. on one hand, i feel like he'd want to avenge his dad, on the other when that anger subsided i feel like he'd be smart and do the right thing. i saw a lot of people in the comments on the reddit post where i took the screenshot from talking about how they were disappointed in what the colt/mc storyline would be and how it felt like character regression for him and the mc. and my response to that as the self proclaimed #1 colt kaneko stan is yes and no? i mean yes, it is character regression, but that is also kinda the whole point of rod and colt and mc always brought out the worst in each other in that sense.
mc is the 'good girl' but she doesn't bring out the good in colt the way that she does in logan. out of the three main lis, logan is the only one i would call a good person, colt and mona are both morally gray. mona's mindset is about survival while colt's is selfish. he does what he wants to get what he wants. whereas i would say that the mc has a positive affect on mona and logan, i would say that colt has a negative affect on the mc. she chooses to love him despite what he does and the lack of remorse that he shows. while andrew says that what colt does is mostly on the books, i have a hard time believing that that isn't mostly out of self interest in some way. i guess what i'm saying is i doubt how much he's truly changed. and i'm sure that the engagement is tied to that because as an industry leader, there must be benefits to be being engaged to the mayor's daughter. and i'm not saying that he doesn't love her, but it does seem like a strategic choice to get close to her.
my guess for why colt would join the old crew other than any lingering feelings for mc would be out of allegiance or vengeance for his father. and then when bringing back the point of character regression, this would be colt's choice and much as it is the mc's choice to be returning to this life in the first place. might it feel shitty for some people to see a recent college grad and a 25ish year old who recently turned his life around giving it up for a life a crime and an old relationship? sure. is it toxic and co-dependent? yeah. but idk colt and mc were always this way and the inherent struggle of colt's character has always been colt's idea of making his dad proud versus the life his dad actually wanted for him. they were like this in book 1 and i personally really really wish i could read book 2

The ROD book 2 plot reveal on StoryLoom is FINALLY out and it sounds so good?????
**Small Spoilers for book 1 below**
SO glad that Mona broke out of prison but super disappointed in MC for not having a part in it. What was the point of telling her that we would get her out some day at the hospital if she was left to do it alone???????
I hope MC at least tried but was too late or something but there’s no way of knowing because the book was cancelled. I like that we get to be with the LI of our choice in the end though.
Also Colt being engaged was not something I expected to happen in a 5 year time skip lol

never gonna get over the drama of Colt throwing Logan directly under the bus for entrapment (THAT HE ALSO NEVER TOLD ELLIE ABOUT) to stop the whole premeditated manslaughter plot from getting aired

‘I don't get the past hype about RoD and while people were sad when RoD2 was cancelled when it's like.. The most mediocre and cliche  book ever? Nerdy girl? Check. Bad boy who flirts with her for no reason? Check. Treating a normal party as if it's something very bad and rule-breaking? Check. MC deciding that it's better to commit crimes with a guy she just met is better than simply breath through breath analyser? Check. Really, it's just feels like a fanfic from 13 y.o. on wattpad that was written by someone who doesn't live in America and knows stuff about it only from teenage dramas’

As someone who was active when rod was just coming out. It’s hilarious to see it’s a beloved book now. The amount of VITRIOL at the book and hate at the writers was craaaaazy back then.
