The guy was right. This story was unrelentingly precious, like a bustling Hummel colony. I can’t tell how self-aware the author was of his own self-awareness, but the presence of a Garden State reference suggests to me that he thinks being precious is fun. It can be. No surprise, Lin was listening to Bright Eyes when he wrote it, according to this interview (link).
