Ms. Rowling doesn't give Ginny's story enough credit.

Consider her roommates.  After this experience with their dormmate in their first year...I would imagine they all had a connection.  Think about it. 

And Percy.  Even in canon, it's clear he came the closes to suspecting the truth.  How did that affect him?

Oh, God, Ginny is a Gryffindor.  No matter what Tom tells her, she is.  She's so brave.

The last days:  One of my favorite excerpts:

Go to Myrtle's toilet. Go now. If you will not listen, then I will be forced to make you open me in class.
Are you… mad… I'm at… Flying! People… are staring!
Unbelievable...
________________________________________________________________________
Go. Right now, Virginia. Before I kill you on the spot.
You have… really bad… timing, Riddle… you missed your big… chance…
Where are we?
Astronomy… and there's no way… we're going… anywhere… kill me and you… won't have anyone…

And one of my favorite excerpts:

After Defense… it is always after Defense… That's our window. That is when you are most likely to slip out of line - when Professor Lockhart is on guard. That is when we must slip away, isn't it?
Yes.
And you could have told me this weeks ago. Couldn't you.
Yes.

 

 

 

You're hurting me -
I hope so.

fOne of the reasons Arabella's brilliant - like the Dementor excerpt, she just shows all the ways, all the sides, how Ginny, weak as she was, struck chords in Tom.

Idiot girl, it took you five months even to suspect me. And in another five months you have been completely unable to extract yourself from me for long enough to say a single word in your own defense.

Ask me now who I am. I want to tell you.
You are Tom Riddle. You are the Heir of Slytherin.
And who else am I…?
I do not know who else.
Ah but you do. You do know who, Virginia. You know who.
No, I do not.
Yes you do. You know who. You know who.

 

 

You Know Who.

How could this brilliant Arabella write something so shitty as the ending of Rising From Ashes?

It must be entirely that other girl.

That last part gave me major chills the first time I read it...
