But there’s a lot of book to get through where she’s running roughshod over everyone, breaking up couples just because she happens to feel like it, pretending to be deeply in love sheerly in order to enjoy the thrill of conquest, etc. etc.

Having had experience in the wild of charismatic, narcissistic people who I did not find at all proportionally interesting to the damage they inflicted on people I cared about, I suspect I am not the target audience for this book, but I am glad that Rory gets to enjoy her bread and cheese and tea.
