Noooooo, why does it suck now?

WHY? The first third was so good! Kaleb has always been one of my favorite things in the series and now he's just *boring*. WHY DOES THE AUTHOR CONSISTENTLY RUIN HER BEST CHARACTERS???

(Except Judd. Somehow he escaped this fate and I'm grateful)

"A second finger, and then all at once she'd had enough, her womb contracting with an emptiness that hurt."

SERIOUSLY, THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF SEXY. D: D:

Look, purple prose is all well and good, but if your "womb clenched" during sex a) OW, that's called a cramp & b) NOT HOT.

You know what I hate? Patronizing jackass "love interests" who treat their significant others like shit, lie to them, belittle them, minimize their expertise, and otherwise act like patronizing jackasses.

UGH.

"From there, I used Ashley’s mother’s passport—same height, same weight, same eye color, just ten years older—and flew to Puerto Rico. Luckily, US passports aren’t cross-referenced with the social security death database. Therefore, Ashley’s mother’s passport was still valid."

OR you could just, you know, fly to Puerto Rico, no passport required. Since, you know, it's technically part of the United States.

The psychiatrist in this book is literally so toxic that it's making me shake

Holy shit, I'm the most pedantic bitch of all time but a crepe is not a pancake.

Also, there is no fucking way on earth that a doctor at Planned Parenthood would give a 28 year old the "are you sure you want to abort, it gets harder to have kids when you're older" speech. I mean, they'd never give anyone that speech but ESPECIALLY not a fucking 28 year old.

Well that certainly happened sooner than expected - but yup. Dramatic fight, storming off, not listening. Check, check, check.

Aaaaand there's the not at all subtle thing that will create a massive misunderstanding between the love interests later in the novel, driving a wedge between them when she won't listen to his completely reasonable explanation why he has the Maltese Falcon.


(Man, it would be so much more fun if it literally were the Maltese Falcon)

This is cute so far but:

a) why the hell is this place doing brunch on a Saturday

&

b) oh, wait, they're doing it on Saturday because THE RESTAURANT IS CLOSED ON SUNDAYS.

well, I just figured out why the restaurant in the book is failing. The owner is a moron who's skipping brunch on the day that might as well be called Brunchday so that they can close. On Sunday. For fuck's sake.

I think I love this book.

This book is WONDERFUL - the topic is fun, the writing is both informative in nature and hilariously charming in style, and the recipes look promising.

I might buy a physical copy of this one.

I cannot remember the last time I was this frustrated with a book: I just shouted "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME" loudly enough to scare both cats.

"Small as it is, Boulder is a triumph of urbanization: it's neither a boxy bleak suburb nor a farming community nor a tiny mining outpost -- the tree forms of settled life that dominate the rest of the Great Plains and the West."

I repeat: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

This book is incredibly readable and straight up FASCINATING. I had no idea who Jane Jacobs was when I started reading it - I picked it up because I'm vaguely interested in urban planning - but man, I kind of want to BE HER now.

Well, at 12% in I'm finding this book utterly smug and sanctimonious and actively want to punch the author's husband (to-be at this point in the book) in his idealistic and ridiculous face.

Honestly, my gut feeling at this point is "UGH. White people" and I *believe* in small farms and organic farming! SIGH. I will carry on.

This is absolutely fascinating, holy crap. This woman was made of straight up steel and determination.
