glad I've found yr channel! I probably won't pick up the book bc quite honestly I have too many others I'd rather read, but I really liked the way you broke down the pros/cons/realities of a book in and out of the context of its creation and creator
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment! Really tried to cover some interesting angles and break it down into useful bits for potential readers, so glad you found it so. ❤
omg I totally agree with you about Sam. I was so annoyed by her lack of humanity and the tumblr-messy-girl personality that I couldn’t really enjoy the other aspects of the book as much as I could have because I was rolling my eyes at every single one of her chapters. For example, the London ambiance, Luc’s growth throughout the story, or the things I identified with because I’m the same age as the characters-these were good aspects, but they couldn’t make up for my lack of empathy toward Sam (except for the Christmas situation, and still I thought we would see more about her feelings, but that didn’t happen anyway). It seemed like nothing in her life was a big deal to her. I just felt that everything about her was so contradictory that I couldn’t suspend my disbelief. For example, how can someone be a party harder like her and still be so awesome, brilliant, and consistent at her job? Anyway, I’ll probably give Jenny another shot with her next novel because I do see potential. Nice video!
Do you know if it’s possible to buy the kindle version of this book? I have tried to purchase it from where I am in the Middle East, and can’t find a kindle option
Hi! I've had a look online and I can see the Kindle version available on Amazon but this is the UK website - I can't access any other unfortunately. If you don't see it on your Amazon, it might be because they haven't yet established a publishing deal outside of Europe/USA. A VPN might help you access the UK website. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching!
@@SaltyCriticsCorner oh thanks so much! That’s so kind. Unfortunately, I’ve tried VPN but it hasn’t helped. I think I’ll wait until I’m back in the U.S. to purchase. Thanks so much!
As an American there are way too many drugs and holiday trips. Ive heard that is all normal for young people overseas, but in the u.s. it would be indicative of rich spoiled families. The loose sex lifestyle is pretty immoral to many in the u.s. also but depends on if in a religious area of the country
That's an interesting perspective, thank you! Definitely, our background contribute a lot to how we perceive characters in books, which is why we tried to focus on the novel structure itself, rather than on making moral judgements on the characters.
