If the word ‘unconventional’ was a book, it’d be this one. No doubt in my mind. It’s 175 pages of good fun, toxicity, entertainment, cheating, other man/woman drama and surprisingly, acceptance. Sammie and Tanner’s story is fucked up, but it’s one you’ve never seen before. I believe these two are romantic in their own twisted ways.
I’ll explain, they’ve known each other for years and lost their virginities to each other when they were teenagers. Now they’re grown, and Sammie is a famous actress who likes to sleep with married men then discard them. Tanner, on the other hand, is a businessman (If i remember correctly) who bends over backwards to try to get Sammie.
How is that romantic, you wonder? Tanner gets engaged to a woman just so Sammie will pay attention to him. He riles her up every chance he gets, and what does she do? Sleep with other men. She uses sex as vengeance. But that’s where B. Sobjakken’s genius comes in. I’m personally not a fan of on-page sex with other characters than the MCs and I don’t really like ‘sharing’ (aside from why choose) scenes, but in this book? Loved it. And you want to know why? The author’s writing. It’s entertaining and fun, and you weirdly have a reasoning behind the characters’ actions.
The MCs and the side characters are delightful. Sure, they’re all at least a little morally grey, but it makes for good fun. It’s not done in an ‘over-the-top’ way or even in a cringey way. You’ll laugh, and probably question yourself, but you’ll have fun.
And the spice? It’s serving. Whether it’s with other characters or with the MC, the spice is so good. Dirty talk? Check. Voyeurism? Check. Semi-public sex? Check.
If you want something that’s a little out of the ordinary and quick to read, then it’s definitely the book you’ll want to read.
