This book felt as it was subsidized by the government to force down some 101 feminism down the throat of the reader. I’ll just go back to Sylvia Plath.
This was a sweet and cute YA romance with a bit of an edge. I loved traveling to all of the different locations with Sharlot and her crew. The descriptions were lush and vibrant. Prepare to be hungry and tempted to book a flight to Bali.
Cute! But wasn’t for me. It was a little too insta-love without the depth of attraction or calling to back it up. I also cringed at lot at the crass way sex and masturbation were discussed. Even in conversations about an allegedly anti-toxic masculinity app and about consent in the characters lives, treating women well and having consent before and during sex were presented as a good bonus instead of an absolut necessity.
I did love how the setting was portrayed - I’ve tried some of the Indonesian dishes mentioned and this definitely made me want to head to my local Indonesian grocer and find an Indonesian restaurant ASAP to eat more!
