So this sneak peak post is going to be a bit different. Lucie wouldn't tell me much as she doesn't want to give too much away but she told me some basics. With what I have been told I am going to post pictures that relate to what is to come... and you can have a think what they mean haha!

Lucie might tell you if you figure it out ;) - or she probably won't but it's worth the hint!

Bear in mind all of these clues link to one big picture, they are NOT separate things!!

Clue 1:

Clue 2:

Clue 3:

That is it for the clues for now. There might be a few more.

The second breakup happened! First Nessa and Jay and now Juliet and Matt.

I have mixed feelings about this one as I did like them as a couple. However at the same time I am excited to see something different. In a way I feel like they are two completely different people, a bit like Jay and Nessa and I think they both want different things.

Juliet seems to want stability and some security whereas Matt isn't as focused on that. He wants to still be able to be carefree and not be so serious ... however that is hard with a wife and children.

I think this breakup will be good for them and it works out well because Jay is single too meaning they can both be reckless together.

I hope eventually both Matt and Jay settle down... not sure who with but hopefully eventually they find someone. I think it's one of those things where being in a gang makes a relationship so difficult to keep, it will be fascinating to see who is that one person they can keep it with.

I also think Matt and Juliet jumped into a relationship quickly and maybe weren't ready? Everything came so fast for them, even the wedding... maybe that's why it didn't work out?

I also hope that what Juliet gets from this breakup is the importance of those around her? She has been focused on doing whats best for Matt for a while (with moving to Vegas and that), that I would like to see her surround herself with family and friends.

I may be the only one who is 'for' this breakup instead of 'against' but it's all for good reasons I think haha! Eventually it may be nice to see them get back together but I think for now this is not a bad thing.

In this chapter we saw that Jack finally fired Matt from his garage. It seemed as though the workers were all extremely pleased to see him go haha!

I think in a way Matt will be a little relieved as he really didn't feel as though he fit in. But I also think his ego would have been crushed. He is used to having a lot of things his own way, however this didn't happen here.

He will also be waiting for Juliet's reaction to see if she is mad or not. Jack is Juliet's friend and Matt ruined the opportunity he was given.

I also have a feeling Matt will now take this as his freedom, he might think as he doesn't have a job here he may as well give up and follow Jay to Vegas.

I just want to add - I love Jack and Aaron's friendship. I want to see more of it... hint hint Lucie :D

I also thought it was really cute what Jack did. He must look at Juliet like a little sister and to give her that money was a really thoughtful thing to do. I hope she does now leave the hotel and take a bit of a break from Matt, I think they both need it as their relationship has gotten too poisoned with all bad blood (ha taylor swift)!

I loved how Jack was playing with Hunter as well. I think it is sweet seeing all the children play together and also how all their parents get along. I saw this photo and thought it fitted perfectly to that scene in the story, (I also thought it was extremely cute) so Lucie... this is for you, something to make your story come to life even more!

With the official cutoff with his first serious relationship I thought it was only right to base this post on him. There will be one like this based on each of the characters eventually, so keep a look out for them :) (The next one will probably be one of the girls).

1. He is a player.

I don't think this needs explaining as he has been that way since Bad News. He has always been the guy who likes to party and spent the majority of his twenties so far just having fun.

However when he got in a relationship this still seemed to carry on, he was still messing around and playing different girls - it seemed as though it was a permanent trait for him.

As much as in real life many people would hate a guy who acts this way, there is something funny and hard to hate about the way Jay does it.

He doesn't seem to care and he is so relaxed about it and makes it seem like it's not a big deal. I think the fact that he also seems like a genuine friend covers up the fact how mean he can be sometimes.

2. He's a good friend.

Leading on from my last point, he is a really good friend. All the friendships he has, he seems to manage to keep. Like Lucie has mentioned in the story before, if you're friends with Jay first he will try his hardest not to hurt you... if you get in a relationship with him first, he never truly respects you (I think that is a quote from one of the chapters, hehe!).

In a way I think that is another trait that makes you unable to dislike him. He may be a player and mean to a lot of people in his life but he is so genuine and kind to those he respects.

3. He's invincible.

Okay this one is not literal... he obviously isn't, especially as we now know he eventually dies. However it seems like he is. He manages to deal with anything, emotional or physical and i think this is because he has such a hard shell around him.

He's really good at acting like he doesn't care and that's what gets him through unharmed.

4. He is actually a little sensitive.

Most people's impressions on Jay are that he is very strong and emotionless however he is actually quite sensitive in my opinion - but I say this with caution. There are only a few things that make him sensitive and they seem to be his daughter and Jess... and maybe Steph, but I feel like with her their relationship is quite fiery - idk if that's a good work to use, but I know what I mean...

I feel like when he is around them both he acts a little differently and I don't know if anyone else has noticed that. One thing I picked up on which is from a while ago, I can't remember what chapter... was when he met Jess for a drink and a chat. When they were talking he turned his phone off and put it away, giving her his full attention.

I can't imagine him doing that if he went out for a drink with many other people - I could imagine him being distracted by that and gang stuff all night.

5. He is extremely lost.

He seems the kind of character who has everything figured out by I personally don't think he does. I think he's very lost and always has been. He had a rough upbringing and that has effected the way he lives now.

I don't think he knows what he wants and I don't think he will ever fully figure it out.

I wanted to make this post to discuss the friendship between all the characters in the story. This is part 1 and I am going to base it on Jess and Sophie. I will then write other posts talking about the others in the story.

I feel like their friendship is an extremely close one and it's like the first female Jess has fully got on with, apart from Steph. As in Bad News/Secrets it seemed like she got along better with boys.

I could imagine them hanging out together a lot and just doing generally fun girly stuff that Jess was probably never used to doing.


I think it's sweet that it developed from Jack's friendship with Sophie - how Jess got to know her through that. And it's the cutest thing that she is going to be carrying Sophie and Elliot's baby - it's such a thoughtful thing to do.

I love how their friendship has seemed to develop. It seemed as though when Sophie was close to Isabella, Jess and her weren't as close. However now it seems like they would feel 100% comfortable with each other and share everything.

Basically it is a goals friendship and one of my favourites in the book - for the way it has developed.

If you click on the fast forward tab on this blog you will find a list/profile of the children in Bad Desire!

There are photos, a fun fact and also who plays them.

It has not yet been filled out with all the characters yet, I was only able to do the characters that Lucie told me. But as soon as she decides the others I will add them to that page with her permission.

There are full profiles for:

Lucie has given me a few sneak peaks to post here for you after I begged her in DM's for a good half hour the other day (insert innocent face here).

1. She has a Fast Forward chapter coming up. This is going to be +12 years and will be about the Lawrence family. It's going to be showing the children as teenagers and some boy trouble which Jess and Jack have to deal with. It also concentrates on Jess and Harvey's relationship.

> I can imagine Jess and Jack having very different approach to the boy trouble thing. I think it will be very fun to read!

2. Jay's death is caused by someone in the story already. It is also gang related and the reason Lucie wanted to kill Jay off was so that the gang life isn't glamorised. She wanted to kill a character off that would actually effect readers and this one does. ALSO Jay will get married to someone before he dies.

> It definitely effects readers, i'm so sad about it!

3. In another fast forward chapter most of the characters will have a slight job change. Lucie also kept it vague but said Sophie and Elliot's relationship will be the one to take a step away from traditions. Sophie will be the one who brings in most money, moving away from it being the guy who is usually perceived as being the one to do that.

> I always love a bit of feminism and I have noticed Lucie includes it a lot in the book, yay!

4. Jack and Jess' relationship may not continue it's perfect streak.

> This was all she said about this!!!!! Now I am panicking.

5. Juliet and Matt will work things out but it may not be forever. She might find happiness elsewhere.

> Another vague and confusing hint. I need more!! But I am kind of hoping they both get in different relationships for a while, just to see what they would be alike apart. 

This is a relationship that seemed to have it quite simple for a lot of the story up until now. It was finally their turn to get some drama and hurt.

When Matt's brother Michael showed up in Vegas meaning Matt needed to move himself and his family back to Brighton to keep safe, things went down hill.

Matt has been extremely sad and angry since being there and seems to be taking a lot of that anger out on Juliet.

There relationship has very quickly sunken from being good to an absolute disaster. It looks as though they are sharing a hotel room but ignoring each other completely.

I personally think Matt is just extremely depressed about being out of control. He wanted to be able to face his brother but it's not practical and instead he is stuck living in a place he doesn't want to be in.

I think he looks to Jay and see's him still living his life normally and doing what he wants so gets frustrated when he can't do the same.

I feel bad for Juliet as she is just trying to get on with life and keep things going for the children. It is clear she is not happy but arguing with Matt seems to be tiring her out.

I think she will be the one to break up with him. I don't know why I just have a feeling. I think she will get so fed up and with the push from her family she will end it and then Matt will go back to Vegas.

That's just a guess but... maybe. I will try and get some hints from Lucie on this one.

I kind of think it would be great to see Juliet and Nessa go out and have some fun. I loved their friendship in Bad Bets but I feel like it has drifted since they are both too busy focusing on their disaster relationships.

It would be good to see them together as I believe they would have a lot to talk about and could really relate with what they are both going through. Basically a hate gang members club ;)

(Again, if you want to write a post with your opinions on, email it to be at badnewsfanfic@gmail.com or through DM @ BadNewsFanfic or even leave it in the comments section and I will post it... anon or name is accepted :) )

These chapters focused very much on the relationship of Jay and Nessa, including a little bit of a plot twist which was extremely unexpected!

Nessa thought she was pregnant and turned out not to be... and then didn't tell Jay that she wasn't, all because she loves him and wants him back.

They have always had a difficult relationship, what with Jay being the type to struggle to settle down.

He seems to be obsessed with the single life but at the same time refuses to be fully okay with Nessa moving on. 

At first it appeared he wanted the best of both worlds. He wanted the relationship alongside the fun single life. But now I have a feeling he was just confused.

Where Lucie wrote that Nessa never fully loved the whole of Jay, just his good side... it now makes more sense.

I personally think it would be good to see Nessa move onto someone else, someone who is a little more normal and not so cooped up with a gang. I think she has been through enough hurt with Jay that she deserves to eventually get some happiness.

It would also be good to see Jay relax a little before finding his own love and happiness. I feel like as much bad as he does and as much pain he puts anyone through, I can't help but want him happy now I know it's only a matter of time before he dies.

I also love his relationship with Jess. I know we are already aware that he has a major soft spot for her but I also think she is a complete rock for him, just in a friendship way. 

On top of that I love Steph's part in his life and also the friendship between the three of them. 

These are just my opinions and views on the chapter. I'm sure other people have plenty more! 

(If you ever feel like writing a short or long post like this about anything Bad News Series related, then just email it to me - badnewsfanfic@gmail.com or through DM @ BadNewsFanfic) and I will post it, anon or with a name :)

As well as this blog making it super easy for you to explore the characters and the story, I am also going to be posting:

• A Live Feed of the characters lives, including photos, videos and more to continue the fun of the story even when you're not reading it.

• Updates - Every time there is an update I will make sure to begin a discussion about it here!

• Sneak Peaks - if Lucie agree's, I will also be posting sneak peaks of the chapters that have not yet been published!!

Help Wanted:

I will also be looking for extra help on this blog. If you are interested contact me via the details shown on the 'contact' section along the menu.

How to use this blog:

If you are on a computer it will be pretty simple. This is the home page and along the top there are a row of other tabs you can click on and explore.

If you are on a mobile, similar things apply however the tabs will appear like a drop down menu by clicking on the arrow beside 'home'.

So I thought it seemed only right to make a blog for this book series! 

My name is @BadNewsFanfic on twitter and I will be running this for the write of the Bad News Series (@_kylienkhloe on twitter and @DailyUnionJ on wattpad).

You can read all four books on here, get to know more about the characters and also see sneak peaks before they are published.

I just thought this would be a fun way for people to get more out of these books.

I hope you enjoy and please bear with me while I get it up and running. It's going to take some time to get everything uploaded.
