    Yes, it was.  To the fact that they both get people talking.  Seems like it's doing just that.

    You know things have been sloooooow on NBC when the worst thing that has happened in the recent past is that a person disagreed about the importance of pets.

    If memory serves me right, it was a little more controversial than just a person disagreeing about the importance of pets.

    And clearly, even though I was struggling through bad PPD/PPA, was really sleep deprived and apologized, glad to know i am still being judged for a rough day when I spoke too harshly.

    I'm with you one this one. I don't know what it was, but it wasn't like the other RR books were for me. It was still good, but not my favorite.

    I wonder how much loving her books comes from having similar experiences.  I had a work BFF and loved Attachments and met my husband in college and loved Landline.  I liked Eleanor and Park but didn't have all the feels about it like a lot of people did.  Maybe I related less?

  • I didn't have all the feels from Landline.

    I didn't either. I love all her other work, but this one didn't do it for me.

    I felt like I would be able to relate more had I been married for a good while with children.

    I think this is totally true - it seems like everyone has at least one or two books of hers that they ADORE, but they never seem to be the same ones! Haha

  • True - the part of Fangirl I related to/loved the most was the same part others couldn't relate to/found annoying. I think RR does a good job of really finding the truth in life experiences, but if you haven't had those experiences or if you experienced them in a different way, you don't get as much out of her books.
