Currently listening to this on my commute. While I don't love it and sometimes don't even like it–to the point where I'm groaning aloud in the car–I suppose I'll finish it. The conceit is pretty clever and there are parts of it that are rather poetic. The notion of a girl meeting her soul mate when she's 6, and him helping to raise her, essentially, is both creepy and somehow platonically appealing. I might need to think about it a bit more and get all feminist and outraged over it, but I'll go along with a light and fluffy interpretation for now.

Nope: gave up on it. Don't miss it. blerg.
