Am I the only one who found it conspicuous that every member of the book club was shown one year later to be in happy, healthy relationships, except for Allegra? She seemed very content with the doctor, so why would they have her be the only one all alone?
shareTHANK YOU! I had the EXACT same thought. "Oh, so everyone is coupled up except the lesbian?" Very conspicuous indeed.
shareWe dont know if they broke up or not though. Its possible her girlfriend was really busy (considering she's an ER doctor).
We accept the love we think we deserve

I liked it that way.
I felt the dr was just a 'prop' to make it so everyone is all happy etc anyway.
In the book she’s back with the writer at the end so I’m happier with her alone. Also she’s still young and has her whole life ahead of her – I kind of like the idea that she doesn’t settle down too quickly.
In a way it’s kind of a juxtaposition of Austen’s books. It’s the older people and those who are already married who get a “happy ending” while the woman in her early 20’s is still alone.
Well each character represented some aspects of each characters in Jane Austen's novel. If you noticed the youngest one didn't get married or there was no relationships established just yet. Allegra is the youngest and shes very vibrant, a free thinker of her time, naive and young. So given her character I can't see her locked into a consistent relationship as yet.
