You can 5000% tell this was written in 2012. For a rom-com about falling in love with a porn star, it’s extremely problematic. The main character refers to women as bitches constantly, calls fans of her love interest “gonorhea-infested,” and you get to be in her head while she judges women’s outfits and age. It had the opportunity to be a sex-positive book but instead she judged pornstars constantly (but watching porn was praised!). The only pornstar she didn’t judge was her best friend “who only did girl-on-girl scenes” so for some reason it was different????? I loved the love interest in this book so I’m so sad it was so problematic. Also the “comedy” in this book was picking wedgies, farting, “honking” boobs, etc. That is just not knee-slapping comedy TO ME ….. but okay.
