madanxiety 's review for:

The Graham Effect by Elle Kennedy
3.0

The writing and rising action felt more realistic than some romances, especially if you don't count the extreme horniness/exhibitionism. I guess that's the market they're going for, but to give it a higher rating, I think the book would've been more balance with like at least 40% less explicit sex. Side note, it pisses me off when straight people only refer to penetration as sex.

I liked how Carson (?) was kind of redeemable. Idk maybe that's wrong? But I think it's more interesting when interpersonal conflicts like that aren't so black and white. You would've expected him to become the villain, but he didn't. He was a flawed guy who made several mistakes, but he wasn't psycho. I think that's more true to life.
