Busting a nut over Sigmund Freud is actually insane, that fucker is in hell cackling and rubbing his hands together manically over that.
The second half is more interesting than the first. It’s definitely hard to get through. It’s weird and boring at the same time. This is not a sexual liberation book, has nothing to do with sex positivity. It’s infuriating to see reviews trying to spout that.Our unnamed main character actively uses sex as a way to cope AND self harm. She cries during sex, begs to be hurt, can’t orgasm in front of men, and gets upset if they do want her sexually and even more so if they don’t. Which, yeah no not great but THAT’S when she’s relatable for me. And it’s all kind of ruined by her thinking about sex literally 24/7, using self deprecation every chance she gets in dialogue, and her random pick me behavior. But even that is bland and boring. I wish there was really ANYTHING going on in this book because it could have been more than what it was. Also, the whole student thing was pointless to me. What was the reason that had to be added? It did nothing. glad she went to some form of therapy in the end, even if it was out of spite.

I needed something short and snappy and this definitely hit that mark!
It was also VERY much in on the ‘weird woman’ trope and I loved it 😂
IMAGINE WANTING TO FUCK FREUD FOR REAL 😳
I thoroughly loved how human it was. There is no doubt that this author really went through her own feelings when she was writing this 🙊
3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
