Five Ways to Fall Out of Love by Emily Martin
3.0
I received a digital ARC from NetGalley.
Mean Dudes--I'm sorry, more like Cruel Dudes--never fly with me, even if they eventually explain their meanness and there's this small kernel of sweetness in the middle. (Yes, I'm talking about Webster.) Then Baye's Theorem is brought into it for the "five ways" concept, and maybe it was a week of mental exhaustion for me (then again, when isn't it), because I would just space when Aubrey talked about it. I get Aubrey's cynicism about romance given her parents' shitty marriage, but then falling for the guy who has decided to use you as a punching bag doesn't make any sense.. I felt really bad for Webster's cousin, Holland. Also, I didn't like that Webster was given the stereotypical "horny bisexual" trope. Like, obviously not all straight guys are players, but Webster as he was written inadvertently contributed to the "all bisexuals sleep with anyone" stereotype.
