The Naked Fisherman
by Jewel E. Ann
I actually saw this book recommended by a girl on tik tok and got intrigued so I read it... God, it made me feel old.
I used to love reading immature, generic, formulaic love stories with a bossy man and a young heroine. Now I'm almost 30 and I cringe when I read about barely legal girls trying to get it on. This book was especially cringe worthy because the heroine talked and thought more like a 14 year old rather than her actual 18 years. Also it didn't help that her love interest was a 28 year old grown ass man who consistently chased after a kid. He knew for a fact that she was a virgin, very religious and sheltered her whole life but still he spoke to her so crudely that it made me uncomfortable.
Also I saw no actual story building. They just met and shared virtually no common interests, no interesting conversations, no funny banter or anything substantial and yet they were madly in love in one month. And they professed their love in the most ridiculous ways. I rolled my eyes so hard at the soppiness of it all.
Maybe I'm getting old and cynical but for the life of me I couldn't stand this book. I even read the second one to see if it got any better. Spoiler alert: it didn't. It got even more unrealistic and ridiculous.
