The wonder spot

I loved the writing, I loved the wit, I got the humour.
I didn't like the protagonist and how she expected not just life, but also love, to just happen to her. No work to be done. Not that love should be work, but... oh, come on, Sophie!
And... it's very tell-y (as opposed to showy) and it makes it cold. It makes Sophie cold.
And still I have a million bent corners and I can't stop laughing at the elephant joke. Because, don't we all actually just want the elephants.
