A review by lauraborkpower
Maybe Not by Colleen Hoover
1.0
I actively dislike this book.
This book is offensive to me: a media-loving 46-year-old white woman who has had a not insignificant amount of romantic and sexual experience herself (and is someone who has also seen iterations of these same characters [and heard their corny dialogue] in the hundreds [thousands?] of B-level rom-coms and rom-drams she consumed during her adolescence and young adulthood).
This book sounds like it was written in 1993 by a suburbs-raised 19-year old cisgender white boy (now a small-gig bassist in Seattle [or Portland]*+).
This book sounds like it was published serially in Maxim magazine.
This book mansplains how to be a woman so that even a mean, self-hating Hooter's waitress will understand.
This book thinks that it can't be misogynistic because it's written by a woman.
This book is wrong to think that.
This book hates women.
This writer hates women.
I hate this book.
*He's recently finalized the divorce from his fourth ex-wife (None of his ex-wives have a nice thing to say about him).
+He still has three roommates.
