"heroines named Olive" idk if this is just a choice of wording or what, but why would someone want to read a book more if the protagonist has a certain name??

I was just wondering if 'Namibian nerd-jock protagonists' was a thing and also 'books that actress Elisabeth Moss read in one sitting' when I saw your comment. I must be completely out of the loop with current trends!
Had to give up on Becoming. I picked up my favourite contemporary fiction author, Anne Tyler’s, first novel to read again. A Slipping Down Life is about a girl who feels unseen but actually wishes she was invisible. Awkwardness abounds throughout this short novel.

They just repeat what's in the back-cover blurb... Look at the synopsis on Goodreads, it's all the same! I doubt that the person that writes these articles has the time to read all the books and then come up with more sensible recommendations ;-) And good, cause the "Heroines named Olive" made me lol.
