I had mixed feelings about this book. After the challenges with ‘Women Don’t Owe You Pretty’, I was unsure of whether to read this story. But my friend gave it to me so I decided to give it a good go! 👏🏼
I have mixed feelings about this book too. It felt semi-autobiographical, which was something I appreciated. I know Florence Given hasn’t been given the best treatment on the Internet so.
I definitely had big feelings for Rose, they were so cool and collected and sounded very attractive 😏
But I must say, although some of the parts were great, I just felt like we were in a cycle of ‘we love Wonderland’ and ‘we hate Wonderland’ in the same breath. I understand if that was intentional and to the point, but I still felt a bit bored by it 🙊
Also, when Eartha’s ‘panties get soaked’ I feel like we were trying to shove some smut into a seemingly serious storyline and it only made me laugh 😅
2.5 out of 5 stars for me. Thank you ✨
