Status Updates From Un amour de jeunesse

Surprised these characters have any saliva left to process food, given how much they lick their lips, as this apparently is the only way the author knows to convey hesitation.

Though I also stayed far too long in mediocre relationships with older men mostly because I was trying to "Be different," and I wasn't even 23 at the time, so how can I fault Carrie for all of this.

When I first read this I was in my early twenties, a little older than Carrie. Re-reading this, I'm now older than Kilroy, and find I have zero tolerance for him this time around lol. Still a great book though. I'm just much less caught up in Carrie's angst and more waiting for her to grow up. The descriptions of fabrics and fashion are gorgeous.
