ok im trying Real hard to not get all feminist killjoy at the (lack of) political awareness here but "disabled people all look kinda similar at first right haha" is not the funny comparison she think it is. (i also hate how she only mentions or refers to a Black person as like a wise sage or interesting interesting specimen, or how she talks about money/class So annoying)

"Having a likable narrator is like having a great friend whose company you love, whose mind you love to pick, whose running commentary totally holds your attention, who makes you laugh out loud, whose lines you always want to steal." (Ah you mean my bestie Ishmael who gets distracted by reviewing whale pictures while telling me how his husband was killed in a ship wreck????)
