I am not sure what to say about this one. It is a random snapshot of a few random, unimportant days of a random, not-very-interesting girl’s life. Not very big on plot, but for some reason, very well written and descriptive. I enjoyed coming into the world of a professional organizer, especially one in southern california that caters to billionaires and others in the entertainment industry.
Jane has a boyfriend, Teddy, who is a generally happy and satisfied person, she is not. Jane weighs herself every day and measures her self-worth based on what the number says. She is in excellent health and pretty much is satisfied with her job, she just has this general sense of malaise. I am wondering if I missed something, like, did her coworkers and clients and friends have some sort of common thread that I didn’t notice? Her mother is pretty critical and she has this negative self-talk. Every once in awhile she helps herself to something that her clients are getting rid of in their closets. Am I supposed to be angry about this? Is this supposed to make me like her less or more?
I am kind of ragging on this book, but it somehow was enjoyable to read. Again, it is really well written even though it was a bit boring. A solid 3.
