Not Good for Maidens by Tori Bovalino

3.0

After I fell head over heels in love with "The Devil Makes Three" I immediately rushed to read the authors next work. Unfortunately, I didn't love this book quite as much. My main issue with it is the dual POV with two different timelines, I found the past timeline about May much more interesting than the present day timeline with Lou. Also, I was super excited in the beginning of the book to find out that Lou is ace, good ace rep is very hard to find, however it never seems to become relevant in either the plot or character development so it feels pointless to even mention it, other than trying to fake a diverse cast, since there's already lesbian representation in the book. I got my hopes up and was disappointed. That's not to say that it was a bad book, it wasn't. But it also didn't blow me away like TDMT did.
