Chapter 32Noah isn’t one of those sissy liberals who cuts and runs. He doesn't even deal with his heartbreak by writing emo poetry on his “personal blog” like he used to. No, he pulls himself up by his bootstraps, despite still being a bit stoned. He prays at the porcelain altar for a bit and then runs off to find the girl who done him wrong.
He gets as far as the mailroom. The guy there tells him that someone called for Molly over the weekend. He didn’t write down a name, number, or message—he’s a
man, not a secretary!—it was just some little thing about Molly’s mom being in the hospital. Noah is pretty sure that Landers was the one who put her there.
Chapter 33Yet another girl that Noah didn’t sleep with works at the hospital. I don't think he gets laid as much as the description at the beginning of the book leads us to believe. Barbara is awake. This chapter could have easily been combined with the last one. Glenn Beck, if you don’t write any words in your book, there will be nothing for me to mock.
Chapter 34Time for a touching mentor deathbed scene! Apparently the entire world knows that Barbara’s in the hospital, because there are shitloads of flowers and a parade of visitors. Probably even a plate of cookies, and by cookies, I mean homemade ammunition.
Barbara makes Noah promise to protect Molly. I guess he’s over the whole lying, stalking, and drugging thing, because he agrees immediately. She tells him where to find Molly, mentions Ephesians 6:12 (one of the cooler ones, granted, but not the way Dominionists interpret it), and mentions that she knew his mom. Apparently his mom passed him down good crunchy conservative genes that override his father’s evil PR genes. Or something. Just die already, Barbara!
As he leaves, he runs into his friend, who tells him that Barbara’s been poisoned and to stop taking the pills Daddy gave him. I think this is a dig at Rush Limbaugh. Notice Bill O’Reilly got a nod in the acknowledgments and Limbaugh didn’t?
Chapter 35Noah finds Molly. They don’t go through any of that emotional stuff, because despite romance being the main character’s primary motivation, emotions are for girls and liberals. Instead, Molly says she needs to get to a place, and she needs to fly there, but all of her militia buddies keep getting detained when they go on the airplane. Wow, it’s like the TSA is actually doing their job instead of randomly strip-searching brown people!
He gazes lovingly into her eyes and thinks of how much she looks like his mother. And also someone else. While I try to bleach my brain with Ajax, why don’t you guess which conservative celebrity Molly resembles. (If you’ve read reviews of this book, no cheating!)
