What you'll find here is shallowness disguised as depth.The target audience seems to be young, lovesick teens who are unfamiliar with complex, emotionally rich material. It's simplistic, dumbed-down sentimentality (read: unearned emotion) geared for mass consumption.If you're a 15 year old going through a breakup and need a cathartic cry, ok, go for it. I guess I can see the appeal: it's junk food. A yummy fix, like stuffing your face with a Big Mac when you're really hungry. Feels decadent for all of five seconds, then you're still...unsatisfied. Because it's lowest common denominator material.Every page has a brief thought from the author, coupled with a photograph. A few examples:- Photo of a building and the line:"It may have just been a moment to you, but it changed every single one that followed for me."- Another black and white photo:"There are a million things to do. But none as important as lying here next to you."- Another entire page says: "Don't talk to me like you know me. Talk to me like you love me."- Another page: "I know there was something before you. I just can't remember what it was."- Another: "All I ask is that you let me spend forever feeling this way, before you take me."And so on. It's full of these "sweet nothings". Cheap Hallmark sentiment that gets cloying really fast. The litmus test is simple - try saying these things out loud, in real life: "All I ask is that you let me spend forever feeling this way, before you take me". *wince*You know what? Let me try!
