Hollows related question

I was just curious about what everyone thought about the fact that Ivy is in love with Rachel and pretty much everyone gets it, as characters and readers. I was just curious about whether Rachel gets it. I mean, denseness is practically her superpower, so there's that. But it seems to impossible to miss. Has it every been mentioned in the books? Thoughts?

I picked "No" but I really wanted "No AND Rachel is an idiot".

I think there are definitely moments wherein it's clear that Rachel realizes Ivy has ~feelings for her. That Ivy's attracted to her, definitely (although I suspect Rachel realizes that in a kind of impersonal manner--that she thinks Ivy's attracted to her because she's female and pretty, rather than because Ivy's attracted to the whole package, if that makes sense).

I don't think Rachel has any idea of just how crazy screwed-up in love with her Ivy is.

zomg, I wish there had been an option of 'hells no, Rachel s an idiot' *lol*

Personally, I think Rachel knows that Ivy loves her but she's not clued in to the fact that Ivy is IN love with her, y'know? *rolls eyes*

I agree with the "No and she's an idiot" suggestion. Sadly, I'm not sure if she'll ever really get it.

Even though it's so blatantly obvious to the reader, I think Rachel basically does her very best not to think about it, because if she considered how much Ivy is actually IN love with her, it would make her ~uncomfortable~. She tries whenever possible to make it about the vampire attraction Ivy has towards her, rather than the fact that somebody does actually love everything about her, despite all her faults.

Maybe we'll eventually get a ~realisation~ scene out of her at one point. Most likely when Kim decides it'll be fun to bring the sexual tension back to full force once the books are wrapping up and all the men are officially boring the readers to death.
