[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m conflicted cause I want Jen to have success with a bona fide book containing something of value. Fun recipes with humorous anecdotes seems worthwhile. I also want her to find a healthy loving relationship after the hell of having her once sweet husband become a raging alcoholic hitting the narcs and anti anxiety meds and cheating with a much younger woman, who then leaves her and immediately finds true love with another after his 30 day rehab. 
But….everything has felt manufactured with Jen for a long time. Starting when she was covering for the slow death of her marriage. Her relationship with Tyler feels forced and artificial. Like they are both playing characters in a lifetime movie of what a middle age love affair should look like. There’s a strange projection going on that doesn’t track with legitimacy. 
As for the book and it’s celebrity endorsements I celebrate her ability to market herself and get her people to buy her wares. I honor her hustle and never say die attitude. Just wish she could do all that while maintaining her authenticity. To not pretend to care about her community because it’s her milk cow but genuinely love these devoted women who extend her endless grace. [/quote]

So much of this--you did a great job describing how I feel. There was a time I thought she was a delight and had several genuine, helpful things to say. She was funny and articulate, relevant (to me!) and authentic. So much of that is gone now. I want to see it come back, but meanwhile, I am annoyed with her and feel a little tricked. [/quote]
