The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan

ghostingarden's review against another edition

a light dnf~


this is disappointing bc I actually really loved the roommate and was really excited to see more of Naomi. but the chemistry is just not there for me and i feel like im skimming through. I think I need a genre cleanse, so maybe I’ll come back when im more in the mood

Was not expecting to be so moved by a book about an ex-adult entertainer and a rabbi. Although it was really about how our society marginalizes things that make us uncomfortable on many levels. I dare say there were bits of this that were thought provoking and beautiful.

I really liked the beginning of this book. Meeting Ethan and reading the interactions between him and Naomi were wonderful, and I loved the chemistry they had. I also loved, again, the message of sex positivity. And there was even this incorporation of faith and learning more about Judaism. All of this I really enjoyed about the book. Unfortunately, towards the end the conflicts that were cropping up and the choices that Naomi and Ethan made were really confusing me with how they actually felt about each other. The vibe between them felt different. Also there were a couple speeches made by both characters (mixed in with their own internal monologues) that kinda lost my interest at the end as well. I'll still read more books from Rosie Danan in the future because I like the messages she puts into her books and the prose she uses - I wish this book in particular had had a stronger finish.
