By the title I mean a plot point or even commentary that has brought you out of the story. Mine is super small but I read it and it made me laugh so much that I had to take a break before returning to the story.
I was reading Fractured by Karin Slaughter (which I very much enjoyed, by the way) and towards the beginning of the story, the protagonist’s cop partner Faith is searching a college dorm. She’s well trained and experienced, so she manages to find the student’s marijuana stash. But she comments that a couple OUNCES of weed isn’t a big deal in the mystery they’re looking into and moves on. But y’all. If you’ve ever smoked or purchased weed you know that a quarter ounce is a regular amount to buy. MULTIPLE OUNCES?? That’s dealing territory. Not big time, but what?? I’m sure the author and editor meant grams, because yeah, a couple grams for a college student isn’t worth blinking at. But OUNCES? Cracked me up.
Is there anything like that that’s super ignorable and you move on because it doesn’t affect the plot, but made you laugh?
