A review by wonderwomannz
The C*ck Down the Block by Amy Award

2.0

I recently listened The C*ck Down the Block by Amy Award, an author I hadn’t read before. 
Going in, I knew this was meant to be a lighthearted, fluffy read—it was even stated at the beginning of the audiobook.  While I usually gravitate toward darker genres like fantasy, erotica, or something with more intensity, I do enjoy a fun, feel-good story from time to time.

That said, I found this book a bit too slow-moving for my taste. The pacing didn’t quite hold my attention, and at times, the fluffiness seemed a little over the top for me personally. I had about two hours left in the audiobook, but I wasn’t able to finish it.

There were definitely things I appreciated about it. The humor throughout was enjoyable, and I found the narrators did a great job bringing the story to life. (Also who doesnt want the unpopular girl at school to get the most popular guy in the future). Though this particular book didn’t fully align with my reading preferences, I recognize that Amy Award is clearly talented, and I know many readers would likely enjoy her style.

If you love light, charming stories with a relaxed pace, this could be a great read for you. For me, it just didn’t quite match my personal taste—but reading is a subjective experience, and that’s the beauty of books.
