Reading Updates: September 28, 2024 – 30% in: started this as an easily digestible audiobook to listen to while exercising instead putting chappell roan on repeat for 3 hours. my only criteria was:-i want them to kiss but i do not want to listen to them fuck nasty whilst walking across a busy intersection making eye contact with kids on a school bus
-as i previously said, easily digestible.
September 30, 2024 – 61% in: i started this audiobook for something easily digestible with minimal smut. again, i want them to kiss but i do not want to listen to them fuck nasty whilst walking across a busy intersection making eye contact with kids on a school bus. at 30% this audio was successful at that. NOT ANYMORE IM SO DEVASTATED THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT BULL COCKS AND WET PUSSIES WHILE I WAS WALKING PAST CITY WORKERS ðŸ˜
Review:
When I opened my local library's audiobook service and searched for "young adult romance," to exercise to, I was expecting a couple of things from the blue cartoon cover:
-Minimal smut and
-Generally a PG-13 audio experience whilst I'm walking past elementary schoolers walking home from school.
If you have read this book, you would know that this is
NOTTTTTTTTTTTT the case. Maybe that's my fault for assuming that a cartoon cover in the young adult romance section of the library would be safe for work. But I'm not taking accountability for this.
Also this book was just fucking stupid. Spoilers below.
[ The entire book the main character bitches and moans how she can't be with this man because she's infertile and he wants kids but at the big age of midtwenties you should be able to communicate why you don't want to be with another individual instead of leading him on for two months because he's your best friend's fiance's best man. Like get over yourself, I don't know.
Then the goofiest shit on the planet happens: The best friend's fiance dies in a car accident and the two main characters get married not even like two weeks later if I understood correctly. In what world would that ever happen???????
Then we end the book with the main character getting pregnant :| AFTER BITCHING AND MOANING FOR FUCKING EVER ABOUT BEING INFERTILE.
