Disappoint Me by Nicola Dinan

5.0

“Disappoint Me” did not disappoint me (sorry, I had to). Every time I picked up this ARC, I found myself fully engaged and didn’t want to put it down. The narrator struck the perfect balance between humor and depth; I highlighted so many of her one-liners.

The story follows Max and Vincent as they navigate their new relationship, introduce friendships, face family and health challenges, and confront the unique struggles Max experiences as a trans woman, along with Vincent’s questionable (and harmful) history involving trans women. It explores big themes like relationships, traditions, women’s rights, and let’s just say it, men’s wrongs.

What really stood out to me was how the characters, all of them, reflect the complexity of life. The book emphasizes that people aren’t binary; they do good and bad things, which raises the ultimate question: how do we respond? Do we accept them as they are, demand retribution, or hold them accountable? It’s a thought-provoking read and I highly recommend! Thanks for the ARC NETGALLEY!
