The Love Hypothesis

The girl in this book has no personality aside from being anxious. Every time she talks to her friends, they have to remind her that “she is an amazing girl and she deserves a good guy.” To me, she feels like a bit of a “pick-me” constantly needing reassurance for no real reason. It just doesn't sit right with me, she's supposed to be an intelligent woman working toward a PhD. How can she act like a scared fawn in an environment like that?
