Status Updates From Bikini Dawn (Bikini Days #3)

Having conversations via texting is realistic for a contemporary setting, but it's also a thinly veiled excuse for more padding. It gives him justification for writing a bunch of sentence fragments with line breaks between every one. Feels like there's been at least one text convo per chapter that has taken up multiple pages. They're not long, but they have the appearance of being longer due to all the line breaks

There has already been 3 separate, relatively lengthy passages of Ethan's work bullshit. I literally just skip over them, because it serves zero fucking purpose. It has nothing to do with the relationship between the 3 characters, which is the entire point of this series. It's truly nothing but padding. It might be the most egregious example of blatant padding that I've seen in any porn book.

One of Ethan's co-workers (who happens to be friends with his daughter) has vivid dreams about being in a harem. Not having a harem of her own, but being in a man's harem. And she loves it. Lmao. Obviously this is a precursor to her becoming a love interest. Just when I thought this series couldn't possibly get more cringe, it does.

Today, I randomly wanted to read one of these. I thought this was the last one, but this guy wrote 2 more since the last time I checked. Don't see how this could possibly fill 3 more books, but... whatever.
I've criticized the pointless focus on Ethan's work in the previous 2 novels. This one begins with more of that. And now it's AI bullshit. Seeing as this author's profile pic is VERY obviously AI-genned... lmao
