![]() Yet, all along, one wonders just how much Lauren is like the person he describes to the reader.Īnd Leonard’s mom! Leonard reveals so few actual details (and I’m someone who notes timelines and such when reading) that while it’s clear she has physically and emotionally checked out on her son by moving to New York City and running a business, it’s unclear the time line on this. For instance, it’s clear to me that he wants Lauren to be his Manic Pixie Dream Girl or his Stargirl, someone who somehow saves him, but she turns out to be a real flesh and blood girl and that doesn’t happen. Since the entire book is his point of view, often the view we get of other characters is not how they truly are but rather how he sees them. ![]() As I mentioned in my review, Leonard is alone, depressed, and isolated. ![]() As much as I adored this book, and as much as I don’t think books should be messages or morals, the ending is almost not enough of a resolution for me. ![]()
