November is a Professional Manic Pixie Dream Girl, and her life is moved by feelings. Beef is a cult follower who lives a life moved only by a peculiar idea of “rationality.” On paper, they are the perfect couple. But what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object? There are also hedgehogs involved, for some reason. The Woman Who Found Her Mind, by François Tremblay, is a satirical comedy which takes aim at both sides of the political spectrum. Infused with manic energy (no pun intended), it keeps the humor and weirdness rolling from beginning to end.

    5.0 out of 5 stars She's Found Her Way Out Of Her Trope
    Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021
    Format: Paperback
    The debut novel of Francois Tremblay is a clever play on the Manic Pixie Dream Girl-trope. It's a story with a romantic build up, and how the girl, November, is supposed to, in line with her trope, be the magic fairy who makes the overtly manly yet troubled man, Beef Rockslab, to get his life back in order and make him happy and adjusted. November is starting out as a bit ditzy, silly, cartwheeling, happy and goofy character with purpose of making other people happy. She’s pretty good at it too. When Beef Rockslab joins the dangerous cult The Lightbringers November’s role getting him out of there, even if she’s perhaps not aware of this herself. The main point of the story is however that her true calling isn’t to end up in a romantic relationship with Beef, but to find her own calling and inner independent motivations, and breaking free of her trope. It's quite clever, although I’m still wondering if I was supposed to like November’s silly attitude as much as I did. Even if you can see Beef being clearly a jerk, at least to November, I also sympathized more with him more than I probably think was the intention. It's more in retrospective I understood what the author was going for. It's a story about a trope breaking out of her closed trope and to become a real life character. Almost like Pinocchio turning into a real boy — or something like that. The point was never to save Beef. He was perhaps hopeless from the start.

    I’ll admit I was a bit unfamiliar with the trope from before going into this story, but if you’re looking for a story playing around with this trope, this book is perfect for you.

    That part wasn’t what I loved about the book. What I personally loved about the book the portrayal of the cult The Lightbringers. Beef Rockslab here joins a cult called «the Lightbringers», with its own strange hierarchy where Beef is reluctantly pulled up the ranks at, while in inner conflict of doubt haunts him. The Lightbringers is like a parody and a surreal mix of Scientology, Ayn Rand’s «objectivism» and just cults in general. It's hysterically funny, very accurate, and had me laughing in tears at times. The Lightbringers, claims they can find absolute truth due to only being «rational» and «logical», and never base anything on emotion as that is irrational, which at first doesn’t sound too bad, until you realize how silly it actually is. I think Tremblay deserves an award tor this satirical portrayal of a cult. Its comedy gold. The research of both Objectivism and Scientology is spot on. November’s irrational and emotional way of seeing things, and Rock’s inner conflict due to his brainwashed way of thinking about everything in logical and rational ways, creates an interesting tension and resolution.

    The writing-style reminds me of Terry Pratchett, sometimes a bit Monty Python-ish. There’s even an intermission in the story which reminds me of the famous Dead Parrot sketch. The narrator sometimes break the forth wall with dry comments and odd tangents. At times Tremblay takes this a bit too far, and make things flippant, but usually it works and creates a strange yet appealing and comedic effect. The book also has vague «antinatalism»-themes, which isn’t strange as Francois has written a book about antinatalism ethics book «A New Approach To Procreative Ethics», as well as many articles on his infamous blog about that topic. She Found Her Mind all has a very satisfying and a little bit insane ending.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a "beach read" for misanthropes
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2021
    Format: Paperback
    Sometimes even misanthropes like me want to relax with an entertaining “beach read,” and She’s Found Her Mind fits the bill perfectly. It’s light and readable, with clearly-drawn characters and a not-too-complicated plot. “Romance” was a good choice to satirize, as any narrative inconsistencies are congruent with the genre. The self-published novel has some minor typos and formatting and grammatical errors which could be corrected by another round of copy editing, but none interfered with my enjoyment.

    The story primarily concerns hunky, wealthy incel and “rationalist” cult member Beef Rockslab, and his inevitable love match, November Whimsickle, an academy-trained Manic Pixie Dreamgirl specializing in spontaneity and cartwheels. A number of side characters embody the follies of other trends such as New-Age and Animal Liberation ideologies, but Beef’s cult, the “Lightbringers,” gets the most detailed treatment. I was hoping November would have her own parallel cult, but instead, true to the title, she starts sympathetic and grows more sensible as the story progresses. Perhaps Tremblay’s next novel will pull the gloves off all the way.

    The novel includes a parallel narrative about hedgehogs and a VERY HAPPY ENDING I won’t give away. Suffice to say, if you’re fed up with humanity and want some light summer reading, She’s Found Her Mind is for you.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Original but not for me
    Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    The characters were very original. I enjoyed this aspect in all except the incel character, who I found shocking and obnoxious. This of course may have been the point, but I do like something redeeming in a character. The hard science aspects were interesting but did lose me a little.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable fictional comedy
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    She’s found her mind is a fictional comedy story about November, a Manic Pixie dream girl and her love interest, Beef, a cult follower. November sees and understands herself better as she learns more about herself and realizes that it isn’t just necessary to find love in order to break free.
    I found the story to be easy and relaxing to read and follow. There are formatting and editing issues that can really help perfect the book. What did exist, however, as a source of fiction and storytelling, was enjoyable to read.

    Funny and silly characters with no-fault are what I usually endure reading materials like this, but here I was pleasantly surprised to see how not so perfect everything was and how it still found its way to keep me intrigued.

    If you are looking for a light read and not anything complex, this book is for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Satire
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book is (at the time of my review, and IMHO) a hidden gem. If you are reading this review, and you like satire of any form (or even humour in general - and if you are in the States you can mentally remove the u yourself) then BUY THIS BOOK! And read it, and love it. As I have just done.

    The characters and their tropes are a vehicle for Tremblay's razor-sharp wit and accurately directed observations of the follies of the age we live in. This is the satirist's role in society, to shine a light on the absurdities through which we architect our own downfall. Tongue in cheek, one could almost say to be a lightbringer, and to get that reference I refer you to the last paragraph - read the book!

    There were a lot of times when I laughed out loud. The first time the fourth wall was broken I wondered if it was necessary, but it became a part of the book's charm. And like another review I've seen, I did wonder how it was going to end satisfactorily when I was close to the end. But trust me, it does.
