i really wish i could just turn my brain off and enjoy contemporary romances because i'll be going along and enjoying the writing and then one piece of dialogue will land in such an awkward way i get a physical reaction. why is someone's indo-chinese grandma quoting fry from futurama as a means of giving advice to her granddaughter?

this is tagged with "historical fiction" but what i didn't realize was that the parts set in the past are the late 90s! the "flash forward" parts seem to take place in a few decades from now. i'm honestly disappointed--i'm not saying the 90s are not historical, but it feels like the author didn't want to do the research involved in writing about the past?
