blurrypetals 's review for:

Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren
4.0

I've said it before and I'll say it again: sometimes you just need a little bit of trash. I think I burned myself out a little bit with Fantasy February so I'm trying to just take it easy this month and just read shorter books, more graphic novels, and indulge in a little bit of smutty fun when I'm having a rough day at work. It definitely makes my work day more interesting if my cheeks are on fire and so red they match my hair, which is the same color as a fire engine.

I really don't have much to say about this other than the fact that it was maybe a mistake to listen to it at work. Grace Grant was in top form as narrator, and, even though she was unfortunately tasked with reading both Chloe's AND Bennett's chapters, she did a great job, even though it kind of made me start giggling like a twelve year old whenever I heard her voice referring to his dick in the first person. Not her fault, of course, just hilarious and weird. Would it have been that difficult to find a dude to read his chapters?

This wasn't anything close to being special, nowhere near as good, well-written, or meaningful as Christina and Lauren's other book, Autoboyography, but it was a good time waster and it certainly didn't ask much from me as a reader, which was nice. I just kind of switched my brain off and enjoyed my time and, after reading over forty books so far in 2018, it was nice to have a book that gave me a bit of a break.
