[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL The Happiness Project was such BS! Gretchen Rubin had tons of free time and money to devote to what made her happy, OF COURSE she was able to up her happiness. Such a joke.

I seriously loathed Hillbilly Elegy and will never understand how it got so much play. It actually has a great premise except JD Vance is a hack who couldn't manage a meaningful deep dive into his thesis statement, and it kind of fell apart when he admitted he personally had been raised in middle class Ohio with a nurse mom who made 80k in the early 90s. A more capable writer could have made it something worthwhile but Vance isn't that writer.

I really dislike most ~plot twist~ chick lit. Liane Moriarty, Paula Hawkins, etc.

Celeste Ng is incredibly overrated as well.  [/quote]

I agree with your opinion on HP but I was absolutely moved by Ng’s “Everything I Never Told You.”  Couldn’t wait for “Little Fires”  - not as good but still glad  I read. [/quote]

Same...I was with you until Celeste Ng. I loved both of those books, but agreed that 'Everything' was a little better. But it's like I needed her to dial it back a notch after that one, anyway. What I will say about both of her books is they receive the critical acclaim that chick lit does not, but I would still categorize them as such.[/quote]
