[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm about 1/4 of the way through and the cursing feels gratuitous. I'm not remotely a prude but I'm sensitive to using expletives in a way that enhances the story or detracts from it and thus far this book is falling firmly into the latter camp for me. [/quote] I noticed that, and I wondered if maybe the artificial was of it was intentional. I’m also only 30% in, and it is clear that she made a bit of a shift in Harvard, and maybe this was part of her way of blending both worlds? The swearing is almost childlike because she’s trying on the attitude (internally of course) like a child might when they first start to swear? It took me many, many years of frequent swearing to become a natural language to me. :)[/quote]
