Yes. I'm still pretty sad about it. We went on a holiday together and everything. We beta-read each other's stuff, including original stuff.

I'd done several of her novels and she offered to beta-read mine. So I sent it off to her and she'd look forward to doing it the next week. And... nothing. After I month I gently reminded her. Yes, sure, she was sorry, she'd do it soon for sure.

I got a request to beta-read a novella for her. Sunk-cost fallacy kicked in; I did it. And again, nothing on my novel.

After moving house, feeling exhausted and emotional, I told her not to bother. She was shocked and apologetic … and didn't say she'd do the beta-reading.

She's done things of similar magnitude, though different, to other people, I've since found out. Ya think ya know someone...

I'm still in sporadic contact with her, I don't really know why. I still miss the friend I thought I had. :(

(Come to think of it, I vented about it here and people told me to drop her. Shoulda listened to you, anons!)

I think it was Maya Angelou who said "When people show you who they are, believe them." Sorry your friend sucked, anon. :(
