Somehow though, she will manage to drag out the emotional damage these two obstacles caused her until the end.ĭuring her time at University, Greer is trying to find her calling. ![]() Between not being able to go to the college of her choice and her parents being stoners, these are the only obstacles in life, and in this entire novel, she will have to overcome. In the beginning, we find Greer reeling with resentment towards her parents because she had to go to a state school she was offered a full-ride to versus going to Yale, which her parents could not afford, partly since they filled out her financial aid papers wrong. The biggest issue I found with the story is the main character Greer, who is hugely unlikable. The Female Persuasionby Meg Wolitzer is one of these books that have been a New York Times bestseller, and so fittingly is the first book that I am reviewing that I did not enjoy reading. More often than not, I find books that are 'hyped' by mainstream media to be disappointing. ![]()
