What She Saw...
What She Saw...: A Novel | Lucinda Rosenfeld
1 post | 4 read | 6 to read
A fresh (in more than one sense) and honest new voice in fiction is extravagantly displayed in this first novel that candidly dissects modern romance. Plagued with weird parents, an underdeveloped body, and a mind on the verge of self-deconstruction, Phoebe Fine feels ill-equipped for a journey through the hardening chambers of the late twentieth-century heart. But from fifth grade and Roger Mancuso, equal parts baby Brando and court jester, through her early adult life with New Media executive Neil Schmertz, a babytalker who prefers spooning to sex, Phoebe trudges defiantly through guyland, armed with a tart tongue, and propelled by an insatiable desire to be loved. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Based on the book jacket I assumed this was a novel about a young woman and her amusing attempts at dating in different stages of her life. Instead, it was a novel about a whiny young woman who only develops a personality when she figures out how her current love interest expects her to behave. Every choice she made was for a man, even if it went against what she wanted. I can't recommend a novel with such a pathetic female character.
