I thought this was was a bit shallow, and it had one part that really bothered me, but that's more of a personal issue. When the MC said "But I have to love SOMEONE", it rankled me because so many people, women especially, think just that, that they are less of a human being if they don't love someone other than themselves. I say that women are guilty of this more than men, but only because they are taught so by society more than men that their "purpose" is to be subservient and nurturing and caring towards others over their own needs.
Why does it rankle me? Because that thinking teaches people that they are not a whole and legitimate person unless they are taking care of someone else, which to me lessens that person's self-worth and independence, which I think is VERY important.
Now, many of you are probably reading this post, and saying "You got all of that out of this story?" And the answer is no, that one line just made me irritated at the MC, and therefore care less about her, and in turn, about the story.
