The overwhelming smugness of the author hit me like the smell of sun baked garbage right off the bat.
I really wasn’t familiar with the book or the author but it was recommended to me so I read it.
I don’t recall how I found out she was from Boston and a graduate of Smith College but really, I know any number of people like her being from Boston myself.
Such people are really quite run of the mill around here and really very difficult to deal with. Just insufferable.
I did a search online and couldn’t find one negative thing written about Kerman, I couldn’t believe it. I was starting to think I was the only one who noticed her pretentiousness.
