Dream Girl by Laura Lippman
Although it had a slow start and an unlikeable protagonist, I ended up really enjoying Dream Girl.
The pacing was sporadic, fairly slow and methodical with flashbacks any time the plot would thicken, which enhanced the mystery. At first the flashbacks seemed kind of annoying, but as they continued, I realized how much they added to the plot.
I listened to the audio for Dream Girl, and I had a goal last week to finish reading a book by the time I got to work on Saturday, and finishing this on the drive there was the thing that kept me on that goal.

The Unaired Two-Page Conversation
I think we're past the point of possible spoilers, so as promised: the 2pg book conversation that was cut for time (and realism). Originally, I was experimenting with "unsent" books as part of the conversations, but I thought it would ultimately be too confusing and opted not to use that, so anything you see with a strikethrough is an "unsent" book.

I still can't get over that nicole cliffe and matt yglesias used to date. You could play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with her but with people who are way too online.
So, I have two thoughts:
The problem is Harvard specifically and the Ivy League generally. Too many blue check twitter personalities and actual political figures all went to the same four colleges and therefore have dated each other. The only twitter personality who went my to my alma mater is Laura Lippman.
I think we can assume that Nicole Cliffe has had some very unsatisfying sex in her life. This is not an excuse but it may be an explanation for "acres of delicious creamy flesh" thing. Of course, Nicole Cliffe has the specific personality disorder that forces her to make sure the entire internet knows about the orgasms she is having in the most horrifying way possible. But, like, good for her.

Currently Listening: Dream Girl by Laura Lippman
So far, this is weird, intriguing, and definitely has potential. Gerry, the main character isn't the most relatable or likeable character, but he definitely has a unique narrative that I'm enjoying.
