She isn't terrible but her novels aren't memorable. I can't reflect on any themes from Conversations with Friends a couple of months after reading it--it pretty much was a hypersensitive femcel fricks Chad (whose also insecure and therefore vulnerable) story. Certain scenes/sections still stick out though (e.g. the self-harm/illness stuff and the vacation to France).
Comfy read but all the hype was moronic and fueled by nonsense.
Hmm, she’s more interested in your med shelf, huh, bud?

I am very happy to derail this thread if you really want. At the end of the day you are only bumping that woman's face to the top of the board.

You keep doing that, troon. Everyone on this board knows it's the McCullers-Trooney-Newburyport mentally ill troony shitting up the board. Maybe you should spend less time on IQfy and more time trying not to be a disappointment to your mother -- although she would not be surprised that her loser of a child got duped into posting their med shelf on a basket weaving forum

I think in the age of "privilege is suspect" that was bound to happen sooner or later
