Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe
Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
So I originally started this book some time in June. I was in a bit of a slump and thought a cute fun spicy Rom Com would be the perfect way to get out. Except, it took me until the first week in August to get through the Prologue. I would start, and then get distracted and put it down. Only to forget to pick it back up again for another week or two. Or three.
Something about the way the main character speaks and acts just screams I'm Trying To Be Unique and Look At Me, I'm Not Like Other Girls. One too many mentions of modern day real life made it weird. Jeff Bezos Penis Rocket was not a phrase I thought I'd encounter in a book but.. it happened and it threw me off. But not in a good way? In chapter two she's taking her blood pressure and says her "problem with vampire juice". Again, it's like she's just *trying* to be unique. I get it, I say weird shit too. But not every other word is a quirky phrase.
"It's not every day you diddle your doodle to the image of someone's face to put yourself to sleep every night and then have a professional meeting with them." Add that to a list of sentences I never thought I'd run into.
I've DNFed the book. I'm not the target audience, I can see that now. I believe this book is for someone, just not me. And that's okay!
Final thoughts:
I don't fully understand her mortification at having the book published. As long as she doesn't tell anyone that it was her fantasy about her editor, and as long as it's successful, what's the problem? Smut books get written all the time (as shown by the fact that this *IS* a smutty book). Just chill out, enjoy the money your wet dreams generate, and roll with it?
