Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I think the field of area where underdevelopment is seen is Societal Expectations. The author strongly critiques traditional cultural norms, particularly those surrounding women, success, and independence. It feels like these critiques were based more on personal experience than a broader societal analysis.

If this was a novel or an autobiography, everything would feel rushed.
But considering that it is a memoir, the speed is fitting. The author is only sharing her memories, by themes rather than chronologically. She is recalling events that occurred in her life. I can see her sitting with friends around a garden table, in a relaxed environment, just recalling all of this. Indeed I wish the stories were more developed because there is so much to learn from this author.

I personally didn't find any section to be underdeveloped or rushed. This is a memoir and here, the author just simply shared her journey. So there's not much to look for when it comes to pacing.
