Can all these super productive FMCs quit showing off already ??

I cannot tell you how many times I have read a scene with an FMC describing doing an inordinate number of tasks in a short amount of time… like she cleans the kitchen, unpacks her suitcases, reupholsters furniture, walks her dog, and goes to the grocery store in a single day. Dear reader, that is a week’s worth of adulting! I know we all have busy lives but COME ON ladies, no one is this productive!

I just read the first few chapters of {Property of the Mountain Man} and I shit you not the FMC wakes up at FOUR FORTY FIVE AM for her OPENING SHIFT at the COFFEE SHOP, and BEFORE leaving for work she preps the ingredients for CHICKEN CASSEROLE to put in a CROCK POT and “whips up” a cOUplE bATcHeS of BAnaNa mUfFinS?!1/1:??!

I know there’s a certain level of suspension of disbelief for these books (looking at you, multiple O’s by PIV only) but some things are just a bridge too far 🤣🤣
