Sup /lit/

Sooo, some people tell me this book is genius, a wonderful depiction of the human condition in today's modern climate.

Others say it's total BS from an author who just wanted to write a story to make it okay for full-grown women to give up all responsibility, act like children so that their life would be more fun, and basically be as hedonistic as possible with no concern for anything else.

What's the deal /lit/ ?

Someone here must have read this.

I doubt the people who say this are well-read at all. Tell them to read some Jonathan Franzen, and stick a sock in it.

This book is the Twilight for middle-aged housewives going through midlife crises'.

This. Women should be taking care of children and the family, not pursuing their own selfish desires.
