Normally I dislike books that are pure entertainment and don't give me something to think about. I need my faux meat and veggies, not empty calories. 

However, I have been loving some of these first person narratives with quirky or even downright weird characters. Peeking in their bedroom while they're masturbating or in the bathroom sitting on the toilet sniffing their own underwear. 

I don't know if there's something seriously wrong with me but if there is, then some of y'all have got serious problems too. The best of you will admit it.

Miranda July�����Ի� Ottessa Moshfegh are two authors of these books who I've come to love and when I started I Hope This Finds You Well, I thought Natalie Sue would join them.

Jolene was fun at first, with her insecurities and disgruntled thoughts about her coworkers.

Unfortunately, it ended up getting way too feeling-y and self help-y for me, too much of Jolene caring about being different and working to change that.

And what was a fun character in the beginning bored the shit outta me by the end. I wish there'd been a computer glitch and the last 150 pages of my Kindle version had been deleted. That Jolene had just stayed weird.

Plus there's romantic feelings and those of you who regularly read my reviews (shout out to all of you) know that romantic, mushy feelings and I are not friends. 

Nor am I friends with the new and improved Jolene. I'm sure a lot of people will be enchanted with this novel and to those of you who do and want to comment on this review telling me how wrong I am to not love the book just because you do - your time will be better spent sniffing your own panties. 

Move along now.
