3.5 Knob Stars⭐
Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️/5
Do I believe in conspiracy theories? No...I don't particularly do...BUT I AM PRETTY SURE the universe was conspiring against me to read this book. YES! Absolutely 1,000%!
If you do not feel like indulging in my made-up fantasy....just scroll down to the section that says "Review"...but seriously....that's just boring
...What happened...
1. I saw Nenia mention the book on my GR Feed.
Now some might be like...yeah, why is that amazing?
Because GlitchReads has a habit of showing you the same review seven times over and over in your feed. One you have already seen, liked, read and commented on... so you hardly ever see anything in your feed that wasn't posted like 15 minutes ago.....
SO the review caught my attention... BECAUSE IT WAS A ROMANCE ABOUT A DOOR...
2. My friend Jordan started RAVING about "a book" in our groupchat
Like she was legit GUSHING ABOUT this awesome book she read about A DOOR...
3. I was browsing Amazon's Kindle store
with "nothing" in the search bar...
AND GUESS WHAT THE VERY FIRST BOOK RECOMMENDED TO ME IS????
Yes - The Dooor BOOK.
So by this point - the universe had thrown so many instances of this book at me, I did what any normal person would do...
I bought it and....read it that night!
Review
This book is exactly what it sounds like and so much more!
Was this a door-shifter romance? Yes, it was.
Were there a few mentions of the word knob? Yes... there were.
But it was actually adorable (yes A-DOOR-ABLE) and really well written.
And considering that it is 69 pages. (Yes, it did that too) it had a cute, little well-founded plot.
It was a good little fantastic palate cleanser, that is great if you have an hour or two to kill and want something weird but also extremely wholesome.
This novella is told completely from the Door's POV. Drys (like Idris) is infatuated with Tana, who lives in the apartment he is installed in. He is incredibly protective of her and has a very valid reason- as the super of the apartment is sleazy, perverted and basically murdered someone who didn't want to give him what he wanted... One night he manages to invade Tana's dreams and explains if she has sex with him (in his door state) he will turn into a man....AND Tana is just the right kind of kinky to try it...
Drys is basically an adorable golden retriever HIMBO...He is super attractive, large, strong, and stupid! But he is also extremely kind and respectful, especially to Tana and gosh the innocence!
Is it a little insta lovey? Yes, it is. But it's a 69-page novella about a door....they need to be knocking pretty soon with so few pages! Quite frankly, read the book! At the first sign in my made-up conspiracy, I didn't think that I would be EVER reading this book, let alone recommending it...but here I am.
READ IT!
It's CUTE!
Tropes:
▶ Greek Mythology
▶ Shifter Romance
▶ TOTAL HIMBO/Golden Retriever MMC
▶ She takes control...
▶ Super Protective MMC
▶ Instalove
The Song playing in my mind the whole time reading this book....
More doors for me. A door-y dee, lots of doors for me
A door, for me, another door for me...
If you know where this comes from... I LOVE YOU!!!!

I’m the unhinged one because I’ve read this book and I didn’t hate it. With that being said.
It’s funny and really easy to read.

A very silly goofy read, which was fun. Very quick, less than 100 pages. This is the first sort of obsurdist novella that I've read and it was thoroughly weird and I thoroughly enjoyed it 😅
