Wow, this is so bad.
Did I expect a radioactive waste lever toxic trash fest going into it? Yes but Hot Mama
The writing? So awful. Cringe at the best of times and So Fucking Repetitive. I think this author literally wrote mayyybe two pages worth of dialogue and then keeps on recycling the same tired shit over and over again
The “relationship?” Not to mention manipulative toxic shit? It’s also so bleh? Like the bitch probably wouldn’t even know the mans last name if it weren’t for the fact that she is supposed to be working for him?
Have they ever had a single conversation? Unknown? All they do is sex each other up and talk about sexing each other up and then fight bc of the idea of him or her sexing other people up.
Also? Slaps of misogyny splashed in there? The only female apparently worth a damned it Kate and let’s be real, she’s trash. Who in the fucking world would see their best friend get pushed around and controlled and be happy and SUPPORTIVE OF THIS ONCE AGAIN SO CALLED RELATIONSHIP. Every single woman throws themselves at Jesse, quite the headache to be honest
To be clear, the entire book was a headache. Reminiscent of the angsty fan fiction of my youth, I think I may have a developed an ulcer from the constant drama and ridiculousness. Therapy guys, consider it.
The stress of all this shallow messing about also left me completely bored and numb to any smut that was still very much frequent and Very dull. I can only assume that’s what a relationship is like.
