I realized I hated her on the first book. It was so awful. It was a contrived story about a teenage suicide pact that I thought played on every scared housewife’s basest fears.

Reading Lolita in Tehran was another disappointment. I’d heard such good things. But as I remember it, it just kept emphasizing over and over the audacity with which they were reading Lolita…in Tehran.

I don’t think anyone “should” love Glennon Doyle books.

Classic category: Catcher in the Rye
Such a spoiled, callow protagonist

Tbh Catcher in the Rye is not meant for adults at all. No one past the age of 15 should be allowed to read it.
