A review by zluvsreading
Before We Were Wicked by Eric Jerome Dickey

Did not finish book.
dnf @ page 21 (Large Print Version) I actually cannot do this rn.

“…hollered at a few honeys from the car,…”
catcalling? seriously? ew
“Men grabbed their dicks if they loved hip-hop and women rubbed their tits if they loved Big Poppa.”
This sentence alone made me so uncomfortable?? like I feel like it could’ve been worded in a better way because honestly I get people LOVING certain music but what the actual hell? This visual is gross.
“I never understood this life. It was a spot where liberals and freaks went to prove how liberal and freaky they were by having a bathroom fling or a ten-minute parking-lot rendezvous with someone from another culture, and some performed as strangers watched the show. There was plenty of girl-on-girl action in the stalls. Hollywood men were in back seats of luxury cars giving other Hollywood men brain too.”

“White shirt skirt, red high heels, the right amount of cleavage given up by her red blouse.”

THE RIGHT AMOUNT??? WHATS THE WRONG AMOUNT?? why do men
“Yeah. There is a problem. A big problem. You’re with my girl.”
This would’ve been so girlboss of him if he hadn’t said this to her ACTUAL boyfriend. lmaoooo. okay context: They’re in a club. He spots her and she has this guy next to her holding her hand or something. He goes up to her says hi, and the bf is confused, and asks what’s going on. Then he asks if there’s a problem and yeah. That’s where we’re at. ^
“And at the same time, that miniskirt and cleavage let me know she was all cayenne and honey, maybe more fire than sweetness.”
And maybe, women don’t get dressed thinking about what a man’s reaction to their outfit is going to be. LOL. ANYWAYS

i just can’t do this rn, it’s dnf season and I don’t have the energy to keep reading this. I’m returning it to the library asap.
