Why do we all pretend that small talk is a necessary part of adulthood? Like, every time I see a neighbor, why is the weather the first topic? We live in the same building; I know it’s hot today. Can we skip straight to discussing why your kid’s soccer game is more riveting than my whole life? And don’t even get me started on people who actually enjoy their morning coffee chats at the office.

So, let’s talk about the absolute absurdity that is online book reviews. I mean, did anyone actually ask Karen from Ohio why she "couldn't connect" with a character because they were "too fictional"?
