A review by pookiee
Control Freak by Brianna Hale
Did not finish book. Stopped at 57%.
I was interested in reading the D/S dynamic as a coping mechanism, but this mc’s mental health hinging on a relationship with her boss she just met is not romantic. there’s also no burn, no buildup of feelings.
female lead has no personality apart from being anorexic and tearful. the portrayal of anorexia isn’t bad, but she’s the “perfect,” stereotypical anorexic—always eating as little as possible, with no hunger pangs (impossible), afraid of dessert.
male lead has no personality except being Swedish and controlling.
