A review by colltheresa
Athica Lane by Brynne Asher

2.0

I wanted to DNF, but it had such great reviews that I thought something must happen later that redeems it. No such thing happened. First of all, the way Paige talked about her incredible tits in the first chapter was ridiculous. Second of all, Cam is v controlling & doesn’t listen to a single wish of Paige’s & blatantly overrides her. The woman just wanted to go to the store to buy some purée pumpkin for cookies & he pinned her to the bed so she couldn’t leave. Later in the book he shuts her out of important decision making & refuses to let her be involved in a case w the police that directly effects her. I couldn’t stand Cam. Not a single person in the book understands boundaries & I was ready to pull my hair out.

Onto the writing, my biggest pet peeve was that the author turned “sweet” into a noun & wrote the must comfortable sounding sentences. GROSS. Then, she was extremely repetitive with some of her phrases.
Some of my favorites pertained to hot dads, bottomless vodka drinks, & sprouting seeds
