I was eager to pick this one up, as I really enjoyed the first collection in this series The Princess Saves Herself in This One, and I'm happy to say that it did not disappoint! I appreciate how raw and honest Amanda Lovelace's writing is, and how she is not afraid to discuss important topics such as assault, abuse and misogyny. I will say this collection was heavier than I remember the first one being, and I would reference the content warnings in my review as well as the content warnings she has placed at the start of the collection.

I absolutely loved this. To all those saying it was too angry or "man-hating", I think you should read this book again.

However, I felt like this book lacked a bit of intersectional nuance to experiences of WOC (especially) and queer women.
