everything i have just read felt like a fever dream. i don’t think i as a 22 year old will ever be able to get over “i want ‘you’ve got a big, hairy, luscious vagina’ to be the best compliment you can give.”

deeply unserious book and not in a good way.

4.0

normally i wouldn’t read a cheesy romance book but i made an exception since it was on my tbr for ages and i needed something to quickly burn through in a little readathon i was doing.

and i have to say, this was the kind of trashiness that i actually enjoyed. is it good on a technical level? absolutely not. is it a little silly and a decent read to switch off your brain to? absolutely.

it’s camp.
