Rosemary MacCabe

"Like, like, like, like, like, like"

This former like, journalist needs to like, extend her vocabulary, like.

I mean…I cannot…..???? Constant repetition of these two phrases and endless sentences with question marks that are not even rhetorical questions

Her book isn't great. I think she was going for the Carrie from sex and the city disastrous dating feel. I only read half of it but it every chapter was about a different guy who she had bad sex. She ended the chapters with a cutting remark about them. She was always the victim who was used. A few of the guys were in relationships. She was never in the wrong but was man obsessed. I don't know if it got better as it went on but I couldn't finish it.

It was a very boring pointless read , I too found myself skipping sections and gave up . Went into the recycling bin.

I actually enjoyed the book, took a few chapters to get into and found it very “Rosemary” but I’ve read a lot worse.

Yeah the book got tiresome. Every chapter different fella and you already know the ending, they break up. The end.

 

[Madamex]

Was the book funny at all? Was it meant to be?

I didn't get that from the book at all. She actually was pretty clear that she made bad choices and mistakes. That she had been a witch at times.

I like Rosemary alot and subscribe to her substack but am really disappointed that no new pieces in the last week.

As I said I didn't finish the book. I thought that she couldn't help herself at the end of chapters with a remark about the man in question e.g. his average looks or his current life situation. So while she may have said her own behaviour or choices were poor at times, she had to get the sting in at the end. Just my opinion.

I’ve downloaded on audible but not listened yet, I’m now wondering if audible do refunds after reading the comments about

I listened to a sample on audible. To paraphrase Rosemary, I mean, I cannot?

Between this and the new substack, how is the woman still calling herself a writer?

Is it just me that looks at this and just sees a bunch of words which make absolutely no sense together?

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I see someone who just parrots what she has read on Twitter

Absolutely! The substack she posted is some of the worst writing I have seen in a while. I have corrected student essays that were streets ahead of that particular string of word art.

I'd be unsubscribing fairly quick so, that is very unprofessional of her.

You might not agree with the writer's opinion but I think his point is pretty clear to understand here

Not to me. Rosemary is great for reposting aesthetically pleasing accounts, I bet she only reads half of what she shares. Her trans support is hilarious. She is great for a good catchphrase but never actually does anything to show support.

Congratulations to you. I read his entire post and it still makes no sense to me.

For someone who sells herself as clever this is a VERY dim move.

She also thought the serenity prayer was a real prayer from a bible and not from alcoholics anonymous.
