Edna's selfishness is really grating.

She does not consider ANYONE else except herself.

Her selfishness gets on my nerves even more because she didn't have to marry the man she did. Her family advised her not to. She does not take responsibility for her actions and decisions. Selfish AND irresponsible.

I'm honestly not seeing why people like this book. I'm all for discovering yourself and trying to change your life if it is dissatisfying.

But I'm also for people acting like adults and Edna is acting more like a spoiled, little girl.

I agree. Her children are just an after thought for her. Sickening.
