Holy crap this was so fun. This is very clearly a satirical take on monster romance, it’s obvious in the way the author describes everything and anything and because of this I had the time of my life with the book. I was literally laughing out loud.
I think if you enjoy unhinged and purposefully funny books, which if you’re grabbing this book I doubt your expecting a masterpiece, you can’t go wrong with this one. Very reminiscent of Chuck Tingles works.
The author really saw some of the most insane and wild quotes and moments in romance books (monster romance/erotica AND normal erotica) and decided, “you know what? I’m going to amp it up to hundred to show you guys what you’re reading is weird”. And I appreciate that! There were so many moments where I could think back to other books I’ve read and see what Lola Faust was going for with her interpretations.
Potentially fatal wound? Obviously we should treat it first, right? No! Sex first!
Impossible sexual positions or wild descriptions of anatomy that the authors really think are literary masterpieces?
I’ve seen that before. But then she takes it to the extreme and it’s hysterical.
Just a fun book all around.

Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer by Lola Faust is the definition of an f* around and find out erotic story. This book was ridiculous and hilarious and I laughed out loud so many times that my husband started walking around with T-Rex arms singing "I'm a dinosaur" to the tune of the Jurassic Park theme song (thank you TikTok).
The author knew exactly what she was doing with this scintilating dinosaur story. It was full of sexy romps and inter species drama. The narrator did a great job on the audiobook and I actually really liked how the end of the story went down. If you like monster romance that requires zero thoughts in brain, this book is for you!
