My bad book club is tearing apart Ugly Love by Coleen Hoover. Her male protag is written in first person. He encounters a new girl, Rachel, and then suddenly the text goes center Justified to show that he is falling in love. EXCUSE ME! When, in prose, is center justified EVER a choice that makes sense? It makes the reading experience really really weird and causes you to view the eighteen-year-old boy as a creep and a weirdo and kills any attraction you could have for the guy especially since he drops that this girl he just met "is going to have all my babies." Creep Level Achieved! I ask you all have you EVER used center justified as a prose style?
