From the Top
by Jaqueline Snowe
It was a cute read. But as I said in the other books it has errors from lack of editing.
Part of me was excited for a role reversal with the mmc being the nerdy relationship type while the female mmc is the popular ‘slutty’ athlete. However it’s revealed that she’s ‘hooked up with a handful of guys’, given a handful is 5 and these types of novels usually define a ‘male slut’ as having countless partners it ultimately still portrays a double standard. A slutty mmc can be redeemable with a deeper personality, but this female’s redemption is that she just lets people think inaccurate things about her and flirts as a defence mechanism, when she isn’t actually a ‘sl*t’ at all by romance book standards.
Also a completely personal take but the description of the MMC reminded me of my BIL so I couldn’t get in the feels.
