Some moments definitely stick with me. I love the fact that our main character is still learning while being naive (sometimes way too desperately naive), and I do enjoy her progression and growth as a woman living alone in your good ol' NY-mfin-C. Call it cliche or whatever, I respectfully enjoyed it though sometimes I roll my eyes at some pretentious lines and writing.
