I think that's more of a testament to my mood as a reader currently. Overall, I've been finding the vignettes to be very absorbing! I hope to see more Joelle soon. Especially loving the Ennet House sections. Thanks again for the research and blogging Kristin!

"And the male-to-male hugs were straight embraces, hugs minus the vigorous little thumps on the back that Erdedy'd always seen as somehow requisite for male-to-male hugs." Also, Politeness Roulette would make a wicked good band name. Agree that hardest bit to slog through was the ETA waiting on punishment bit, though the bit from JOI's joyless childhood was far more cringe inducingly painful. That hug description made me smile.
