American Queen by Sierra Simone
5.0
Spice: 5/5
Plot: 5/5
Well gawd damn and holy shit, @bookmmyspice and I actually agree on a book!! If you’ve been around for a while, you know that Mer and I very rarely (VERY RARELY) agree on books. So when it does happen, it’s like the hallelujah chorus starts up and fireworks are a necessity lmao. Mer recommended this to me weeks and weeks ago and I definitely ignored her, sorry love! lol. And then I saw @lynz_reads gave it a five star and I was like, ok what the actual fuck… and now here we are.
Suffice to safe, what little remaining feminism I had left before reading this has since fled the building. She was like, yup you’re deranged and flipped me the bird on her way out lol.
But you guys…this book was AMAZING. Was it actually a 5 star read? Probably not. Did I inhale it like a cracked out smut whore? Fuckin rights I did and therefore it’s getting a 5. I’m sure there was a plot in there somewhere but I have zero recollection of what it was about. Something to do with a President I think lol.
I’m joking calm down lol. Yes there’s a plot, I’d loosely compare it to the series Scandal, which I actually loved and thankfully said plot is extremely well written. The tension and the angst in this book were so well done I thought my heart might actually twist itself up into a knot - and not for the reason I was expecting. I was so gutted and so angry and so completely shocked at one point I texted three different people with a giant WTF?!? This is where @bookishbeck_ comes in, thank you for the emotional support ♥️ lol
Plus, the cream cheese icing on the fuckin cake… This was hands down the best spice I’ve ever read. I’m talking like, 40 page scenes filled with the most glorious and perfect filth imaginable. Like, burn the fucking house down hot. RIP to me (and our girl Greer’s vag) because nothing is ever going to compare to what I just read. You just need to read it. Right fucking now.
And now I’m off to inhale the second book because clearly I have issues. Lemme know when you read this so I can relive it vicariously through all of you smut addicts lol.
