I feel really bad for dnf-ing this book, but I just couldn't read further.
There are no 1 or 2 star ratings on goodreads (12th august 2016), so I'm probably very alone with my dislike of this book.
I just couldn't get into it! I didn't get a feel for the different characters. Instead I felt indifferent and with some eve annoyed. Example: two women are in a relationship, one of them doesn't like to be eaten out and they are having an argument over it every few weeks. Wtf?! Just don't do it? There are other fun things to do? I really, really didn't get it. Is that such a big deal?
Another thing bothering me was the butch/femme dynamic. As far as I read there is always a butch and a femme getting it on. Because you gotta have the male part and the female part of course. Yes, I know there are butches and femmes, but that's not all there is and it's not always butch/femme.
Anyway. I really dreaded reading, so I didn't read for three whole days. Even though the writing itself is not horrible or anything.
The sex scenes were hot enough on their own if I didn't think too much about it, but that is not enough for me to read further.
