The mere fact that something is "realistic" doesn't mean that it's a satisfying plot for a novel.
Good point. It's like a tight-rope stories have to walk: between being realistic - or, I guess, convincing - and being satisfying. I appreciate the realism of Kel's relationships, especially that she doesn't have to end up with anyone for a 'happy ending', but I was also a bit disappointed because I was emotionally invested in her relationship with Neal... (It is possible that this contributed to me not realising how awesome Kel and the PotS books were until Lady Knight.)
