Editor's Notes
- #7 Emma spares no details. She reveals how and to whom she lost her virginity, her true feelings about her current boyfriend, and how she relentlessly plays hapless jokes on her colleagues (such as watering her coworker's plant with orange juice daily). She also mentions that her Kate Spade bag is a fake, that she lies about her weight, that her G-string is really uncomfortable, and that she has no idea what NATO is. When she disembarks from the plane, Emma is relieved that not only is the flight over but that she has gotten a few things off her chest.
