A Girl Like You by Cari Scribner
3.0
Publisher's Weekly calls this "a more explicit Sex In The City." They're not lying, y'all, and this was not a bad way to finally kick off the year after these past two weeks of everyone we all know getting Covid.
Jessica is getting over her second divorce - or trying to, anyway - when her adult kids introduce her to online dating. It's kind of fun and kind of sexy and ultimately a hilarious disaster. I've never used dating sites myself, unless we're counting meeting my husband way back on Livejournal, and I'm now convinced I never want to. Luckily Jessica learned that lesson so I didn't have to.
I've had my eye on this book for a while as I've been trying to include more romances into my rotation. Though I wouldn't call this a romance so much as a coming of age story of a woman in her 50's learning what she wants for herself. Also learning what she really, really doesn't want, and honestly good for her. SPOILERS She eventually does meet a guy at the end, the guy we knew throughout the entire book that she needed to meet, but the outcome of that meeting is irrelevant. This isn't a love story, it's a journey of self-discovery with sexting and nipple clamps. Nipple clothes-pins. There's nipple play and mild BDSM, okay.
Thanks to @cariscribnerauthor, who was kind enough to send me this copy.
