sgbrux 's review for:
Milostné pletky Nathaniela P.
by Adelle Waldman
I really wanted to love this book. After seeing it all over Instagram and while browsing through past Book of the Month options, I added it to my book haul thinking it sounded like something I would enjoy. The Boston Globe described Adelle Waldman as being somewhat of a modern-day Jane Austen.
As a young woman who idolized Elizabeth Bennet all through undergrad, I struggled to see it. Maybe my expectations were too high. Here’s what I did agree with, though: Waldman is shrewdly observant of the social nuances of today’s dating world as it relates to members of the opposite sex. The shallowness, the selfishness, the ghosting—Waldman nailed it.
