Anon I would say you’re going into the reading in bad faith. You are ignoring the context in which that passage was quoted, they are two teenagers, both crushing on each other and an awkward uncomfortable atmosphere is demanded of the writing, which was appropriately delivered by Rooney with clunky and awkward short sentences and attention to detail you would feel when avoiding a conversation. I don't know if you've read the whole book, I can understand if someone were to find it boring and unrelatable, but I think you are being harsh, particularly on the writing and the emotional depth of the novel. I felt genuine anxiety for the characters at times because they felt very real to me and I do think people will be reading in future for the sincere image of human life it depicts of the 21st century. The feelings of the characters and why they felt the way they did was made obvious, and that might make the novel simplistic, but in a real relationship, when the opposite is true, when there is fear and anxiety over unrequited love and complications are everywhere, a romance where sincerity takes precedence is comfortingly intimate and an excellent portrayal of love and human nature.

Not a woman. And funny you complain about the quality of the board, yet you are contributing nothing to the discussion except snide remarks.

I thought you said you would put a trip on next time you replied protonigger and I was perfectly polite and ready to have a discussion but you replied with a snarky comment that wasn't necessary.

And stop saying it's autistic to be a fan an author, I just like her a lot and I want to talk about her.
