Wrong way, right way?
There is so much to hate about this book, though I strangely love it. Misconceptions, misgivings and misunderstandings abound.... not to mention a healthy dose of degradation and self-conflagration. It’s weird and repulsive at times, though strangely sweet and compelling. I was ready to put it down 3 pages in... but JUST KEPT READING... then I was caught and had to know what happened. He wasn’t as bad as she thought, she wasn’t as mercenary as he thought and they both were, fundamentally, startlingly normal. WTH...
Pros:
- It’s hot... even if it makes your feminist heart rage.
- You get it. Honestly, you do.
- He’s not perfect, emotionally or physically. In fact, he is so freaking normal and human you’ve probably met him in your day to day.
- Multiple POV, you NEED that here, otherwise.... *shudder*
Cons:
- It’s messed up.
- it’s degrading.
- It’s confusing.
- You don’t want to like it... but you just might. Ack
