Is this real life?

The weakness of this book is that it’s wayyy too realistic. The main character is a paradigmatic MFA student: upper middle class, good looking, self-absorbed, angsty. At age 26, her deepest source of suffering is that her 60 year old parents are getting divorced… lmao. Yes, really.

Anyways, the book is well written, the psychology of the characters rings true, and the MC’s are appropriately dense.

The author is talented, even if reading about Leigh and Will is a chore. The book would have been better if the conflict were grounded in something besides insecurity and delusion. That’s far too much like real life.

Beautiful people fall in love because of how beautiful they are (as we are told, repeatedly). However, because they are also dense and incapable of basic human communication, they spend a novel's length of time "hating" each other.

Otherwise not bad. Abrahamic cultism aside, the story is realistic and sweet, if a bit boring.

The MC’s hobby is civil war reenactment, which is right up there with taxidermy and a raw meat diet as one of the dumbest, most irremediable pastimes. Not once does she broach the subject of slavery while discussing “states rights” (to own slaves?) and waxing poetic about the confederate slavers willing to die to own slaves.



Also, her fiancée leaves her for her sister and somehow everyone is okay with this arrangement. She talks about how her fiancée fell in “love at first sight” with her sister, which is just ridiculous. Only someone living in a tiny hick town would think that this is how love works. “Their eyes met, and they fell in love without exchanging so much as a word.” LMAO. Imagine having such a low IQ that you don’t need to converse with your soulmate before being absolutely certain of their identity.

The wealthy take pity on the poor for sex and procreation.

Pompous spoiled trust-funder in love with sweet small town single mother after impregnating her and running away 6 years earlier.

How quaint.

Slow burn romance with no angst or heartbreak. Feels like a Meg Ryan movie from the 90’s. Happy, fun, a little cheesy. Cute vibes.

They hired a 70 year old to voice a bunch of teenagers.

Story is great, though. Still worth listening.
