A review by dreamingsoftly
Kissing Christmas Goodbye by M.C. Beaton

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
The book starts with the protagonist looking to hire a young girl for her detective agency to make her take the lost pet cases and then she proceeds to moan about all the fat girls and one anorexic that came in “dressed in black leather like in Charlie’s Angels.” (Such a super timely reference even when the book first came out /sarcasm) And then the author then proceeds to describe every woman who appears on page as either a bitch or old whore. And you also get to hear about workplace sexual harassment that the author tries to pass off as “tee hee! Aren’t men funny and gross?!”

The author seems like an absolutely miserable asshole who needed to work through her internalized misogyny while she was still alive. DNF’d 20 minutes in.
