[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read a lot of literature.

I don't find this horribly written. It was, methinks, quite well written. Because it's so very ordinary. And it's surprisingly difficult to capture the sense of ordinariness in literature. Ordinary people in ordinary meaningless lives. That's what those two people are. Bland, boring, anonymous, but with their own little dreams and secrets and fantasies. It was a snapshot of a dull and unremarkable couple in their dull and unremarkable lives but who, like most people, live for the promise of that little something special that will make an otherwise meaningless life a bit magical. It's even a bit tragic because the girl dangled the prospect of love to a man and then clumsily backed away, with the consequence that the man will withdraw even more into a shell of his own and become less trusting of other people.

It's not amazing literature but the writer is no dullard or talentless hack. [/quote]

I agree with this.  I think it was intentionally written in a direct, choppy and slightly manic manner to pull the reader into Margot's thoughts, like she was writing in a journal, or thinking aloud, or conveying the story to a friend.  I think it perfectly captured this sort of snapshot in time.  I really related too - I've had similar experiences (and yes, I was immature at the time).  [/quote]
