The Dare
by Lauren Landish
Seriously Unpopular Opinion Alert: I hated this book.
I know, I know. Lauren Landish is usually one of my go-to authors and everyone seems to like this book. I just....ugh. Okay, firstly, I thought the best girl friends daring each other to do crazy things and it becomes a lifelong game was just incredibly immature. (Related: have I become a cranky old lady?) Besides the fact that this behavior is more suited to 19 year olds, that these adult females are doing it at their place of business and dropping trou in the boss's office just makes me feel that the lead female is silly and stupid. It made it hard for me to take her seriously in any way.
Secondly, the lead male came off as crazy inappropriate at work as well. Asking a female co-worker to do filthy (and I mean that in a good way) sex acts to you in your office is just pervy and skirts the line of #MeToo, whether she seems/is willing or not.
Thirdly, I found the balance of the sex to the story to be out of whack (for MY personal tastes). Other readers will love it (and if so...GET IT GIRL), but it felt like 90% dirty sex and 10% romance and emotional connection.
