Lol, these two pages are literally so identical. On the left side, Lisa is regretting her recent actions and thinking about John, while on the right she's lamenting the temptation and how much she thinks about the boys.
Why do we need these little regret monologues when we already had the entire chapter 12 dedicated to Lisa realizing how wrong what she was doing was? And that whole chapter ended up feeling pointless because by the end of Chapter 13 and beginning of chapter 14 she immediately gave in again when she saw Lucas, only for her to regret that also here.
At this point I'm wondering if this is just going to become a repeating cycle of
Lisa “slips” → regrets it → thinks about John → gets tempted again → “slips” again.
I don't mind Lisa being conflicted, but I feel like we've already established that conflict several times. At some point I'd like to see the story actually
do something with it. Either Lisa genuinely decides to stop, accepts that she wants this and chooses it knowingly, or the story finally lets her face some consequences.
Otherwise these regret scenes start feeling less like character development and more like a reset button before the next temptation scene, which isn't far, seeing the cover of the chapter of her and Josh.
