Message in a bookstore, yeah
That Kind of Girl likes the romance of a message in a bottle. But stuffing notes in bottles and getting down to Revere Beach being too time consuming, she instead printed up 22 messages and then surreptitiously put them in books to which she had some connection at Brookline Booksmith - ideally to be found by somebody at a crossroads, just like her:
The friggin' notes didn't just place themselves. Which, come to think of it, would have been the only thing in the world more suspicious than a raggedy 20something pacing the shelves for an hour, slipping a volume out of line, opening it for just one moment, furtively glancing around, then slamming it shut and reaching back into her pocket. Twenty-two times. In. A. Row.
'cause leaving 22 anonymous pep talks to be discovered as though by magic with the leisure of the years? Charming. Getting caught cramming home-made self-esteem pamphlets in used books? Completely unacceptable. ...

The young lady needs to learn something. There are things that, when you tell people you are doing them, they lose all value.
Exactly

At one time, she would have
At one time, she would have imagined that Meg Ryan would play her in the movie. I imagine there's someone else playing those roles now.
to be fair
To be fair, later in the post she writes the experiment off as a failure because it was "cheesy".
Seems like Davis isn't alone at being alone.
E-yoh-oh!
