No, it doesn't really matter if the remains of Asbury Park disappear... as long as Rebecca has her article, and Carrie has her book publishing deal of that fabulous photograph collection... well, then, the kids are all right!
Rebecca Traister is one of those writers that... like someone with whom I have a meaningful relationship... I alternately love and hate...
When she is good, she's really good... but when she's bad, I really just want to say "no more... it's over."
And that's how it was with this article, which was so good right up until that very end. Where she ruined it. It just made me want to roll over and wonder why I even bother sometimes.
