I had just as much fun listening to the audio as I did when I originally read the book.  Probably more so actually, because the voice actors sounded like they had a lot of fun too.  I love this book because it gives itself permission to be silly and serious.  Always a fun read.

I’ve made a few questionable 3am decisions in my life so far, but this. This one takes the cake. It’s been over 12 hours since I finished reading and I still have absolutely no clue what the hell I read.

The wildest part is that it wasn’t inherently terrible. It wasn’t good, either, but it was just. There. And so unbelievably bizarre. I’ll never look at a doorknob the same way again.

Moderate: Sexual content and Gun violence

A few short, consensual sex scenes. One scene with a gun, which is used, but doesn’t kill anyone. Additionally, while none of the tags fit, the “plot” of this book involves a sleazy landlord that targets women living alone in his apartments now setting his sights on the protagonist. He lets himself into her apartment when she’s gone, goes through her laundry, takes her underwear, etc. General creep behavior. And on one such visit, he drugs her orange juice, though she never does drink any of it.

So I saw this one around bookstagram and the premise sounded, well, unhinged, but it was short and on KU so I just had to experience it for myself. It was definitely odd, but also genuinely original—I could even have envisioned it turned into a full-length novel that dove deeper into the Greek mythology aspect or the serial killer plot instead of focusing on the “door romance” aspect (a sentence I never thought I’d write).
