A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy, Sierra Simone
3.0
written by someone who has no idea how sex work actually works, or how sex workers feel.
if you just glance at this book really quickly, it's cute. take any longer to analyze it, and you'll immediately see the issues:
1) they have the internet but she RLY didn't think people would find out about her SW career?
2) nolan creeps me out. he had notifications on for a porn star... GET A HOBBY LMFAO
3) i know this was supposed to be helpful for mental health but idk the whole "helpless bipolar mom" narrative is starting to trigger me. just because someone has mental health issues doesn't mean they become balls of emotions that need people to do everything for them.
4) altho they have more chemistry than some other main characters, the physical attraction nolan instantly had again just creeped me out way more than anything else. stop staring at her tits and ask her about her favorite color or smth damnit!
love the inclusivity of the book, however it could've been done better.
