Only Tampa.

Would it be sensible to immediately assume this to be quite a worrying red flag?
I have been trying to develop online friendships/relationships and I've kicked it off nicely with this woman who works in STEM who I met through the r4r subreddit.
To gauge her intellectual bent I asked her what were her favorite books which she read in the last couple of years. She named a lot of non-fiction (claims she mostly reads these) and on the fiction side (rarely reads) she said Tampa is the only one that "truly left an impression" on her, the rest she said felt "quite forgettable". I knew enough about it, thanks to the lit memes in part, to feel distraught by that but didn't tell her.
How should I ask her to expand on that in a way that doesn't feel that I am judgemental if I bring it up all of a sudden?
