When it comes to Bess/Joe though, I think while there would probs be a bit of flirting, I always think it's so forced when Bess and Joe get together, just a bit too convenient, if you know what I mean. At the same time though, it wouldn't bother me to read them as a couple.
LOL. in the book itself they're more in the "getting along but that's it" side of things. but then there are HUGE GAPING PLOT HOLES in the book so far, so we'll see. i think it'd be fun to contrast joe and bess against nancy and ned as a couple, with them playing married.
I went through and made a detailed outline, which was hilarious enough in itself, and then had to go through and correct it (I updated it to present time, because it was published in 1995 and airport security has changed A LOT since then), and... yeah. I think these plot holes were more egregious than most, although often it's "and why didn't they just contact the authorities instead of using amateur teen detectives?"
Anyway. I just finished up with Chapter 1, so I might try to do Chapter 2 before I post that. ;)
