Blindsided by Amy Daws

5.0

Freya and Mac are friends from different countries. He is an Irish football player, and she is an English quirky clothing retailer. Their conversations are wacky but kinda funny as well. They got to a party together, and lots of secrets were revealed after, but it changed things. Mac discovers that she is attractive and offers to help her get over her inability to talk to men. He is, after all, her best friend, and she trusts him.

This book is frank with them. She isn’t afraid of bringing up explicit content and describes it as funny that you love, but it does vary. I’m enjoying her candid terminology and no bull conversations.
This really is a laugh-out-loud read if you don’t get offended by sensitive subjects that are for a mature audience.

Beware parts of this book may have you hysterically laughing. Who knew adult talk could be so hilarious? But I about died of laughter. I guess it shouldn’t have been funny in all contexts, but the way it was presented was fantastic. This book is beyond steamy it is

How does a 30 year old women know nothing about sex. She literally calls it “The Sex”. Then the author tries to make it seem like she’s just super innocent but this girl is THIRTY. How are you 30 and asking people “if it hurts men the first time they have sex”.

Also the things she thinks while there playing never have I ever???

-“Never have I ever done reverse cowgirl!” Belle states next, holding her glass up proudly. The crowd cheers, and my eyes widen. Reverse cowgirl? Is that like a role-playing thing? Perhaps the girl dresses up like a cowboy and the boy dresses up like a cowgirl? Gender swapping? How modern!

- “Never have I ever given road head.” I have no clue what that one is. Road. Head. Hmmm. I imagine it’s something done on a road, but how does it involve your head?

She’s also very self-depreciating.

I like it.  Its very lighthearted.  It doesn't make the FL's personality revolve around hee weight.  It was a good character development and story all in all.
