Soft Core by Brittany Newell 4/5💗
*out in the US on 4 February 2025*
Okay, I loved this! I honestly was first drawn to the cover—I love it haha
I think my favorite part of this book was the inner voice and feelings of Ruth/Baby/Sunday; especially after the disappearance of Dino when things start to devolve . (Swipe to slide 3 some of the passages I highlighted while reading)
I loved how everyone in the book was humanized, especially when people who work in sex work, often aren’t. This was done without judgement, which was refreshing.
I wish there would have been more around female friendships with Ruth’s loneliness and need for a companion. The last third of the book lost me a bit, but I wanted more resolution I think!
Thank you to NetGalley and Farrar, Straus and Giroux for an advance copy!
CWs:
Drug use and sexual content
Minor: suicidal thoughts (not main character) death of a parent
