It's because she's well put together and isn't fat, she hasn't given up, but she also hasn't bimbo'd herself either. She has the figure of someone who cares but the face of someone wise. Freud would either laugh at us for finding her so attractive or concede as to why we do in the first place.

I don't really see what big meta there is. Sure, there is that one conversation where the are basically explaining what the title of the book means (without touching the 4th wall in any way, one might add), but else?

It is good for those who felt they were underserved by high school or entry level college English courses. I was not and felt the book was largely trivial, but if you had poor instruction then it's a solid method for an autodidact to learn effective academic reading skills. Pair it with one of those literary overview books with essays, poems, short stories, and excerpts and you'll be good to go.

also if you're a zoomer still in college, it'll give you a more comprehensive guide than any professor will to analyzing sources for papers/essays and give you a decent grade boost.
