There are women obsessed with their own hair, who think it's one of their great achievements in life. I don't like those women IRL and I don't particularly want to read about them.
And I could kinda see hair taking 22 years to get to the small of one's back, because it grew to low-shoulder-blades length and the split ends kept it at that length, and it took years to find the right conditioner and so on that would let it get those last 5 inches. What I can't see is anyone *caring* about that. Especially not in the opening pages.
One of the amazing parts of the Self-Published Ebook Revolution is getting to discover exactly how many people are prone to atrocious mary-suism. And how many think their 1200-word plotbunnies are actual complete stories.
(And yes, the site is *awful* for finding anything. And keeping track of anything once it's found; your "library" is a single-page list of everything you've added or bought, in chronological order.)
I wind up reading a lot of the HTML samples; if the first few pages don't catch my attention, I don't bother downloading/buying.
