A review by jackiehorne
Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell by Taj McCoy
Did not finish book.
DNF after 5 chapters.
In the opening chapter, biracial (Thai/Black) Savvy lets her boyfriend of six years treat her like crap and then appeases him when he criticizes her for not paying enough attention to him (i.e., not being home in time to cook him dinner, etc.) Yuck. But since boyfriend dumps her in chapter 2, telling her she's let herself go and he needs an upgrade, I kept reading. But there's not much forward momentum in the storyline; we don't get a goal/motivation moment until chapter 4, when Savvy decides to "upgrade" herself to get revenge on her ex. Yeah, not the most feminist of storylines here...
Set the book aside to check out Goodreads reviews at the end of 5 chapters, to see if the story got any better. But it appears not. So, yet another DNF book for me...
