Status Updates From Trop gentil (Les Frères Hay...

“That voice? It’s lightly. You’d expect her to tour the world and line her shelves with Grammys, but Mia’s not interested in fame. To be perfectly honest? I’m glad. I can’t imagine thousands of men swooning over my girl.” - Nico

“I’m sure she does this just to screw with me” - Theo, referring to his wife, Thalia making him buy her pregnancy cravings. “I’m not getting ‘any’ either.”

“She’s Daddy’s girl, Jimmy, and that won’t change, but she’s mine now. Mine to care for. Mine to keep safe.”

He’s saying this to her dad btw!!

Nico finally mentions how weird it is that Jimmy is so nonchalant about his daughter’s sex life, he says that his dad is the same way but it’s different when you’re raising sons? This book by far has the most misogynistic comments, even more than the first two in the series. It’s almost incredible… this absolutely is terrible.

Mia’s dad, Jimmy, being so okay with talking about his daughter’s sex life is weird. At one point, Nico is talking from the car speakers about what he’s going to do to Mia, very explicitly sexual, and Jimmy’s just laughing telling Mia not to be embarrassed and that he was surprised that she was still a virgin when she’s only 19 btw.

“Don’t mention college unless you absolutely have to, baby. I hate that you’re so young. And fuck work, we’ll stay here and have sex all day.”

“I couldn’t fall asleep, so he tucked me in and quietly read me Alice in Wonderland.”

Mia is 19 and Nico is 29, making the age gap 10 years. While that is a little weird, the main issue is him always mentioning how young she is and treating her like a child!!

They’re about to have sex for the first time and she mentions that she has an IUD to help regulate her period and this guy says ‘I won’t tell you what to do, that’s your decision, but if it we’re up to me, I would want you to get it removed.’?? This isn’t dominance or possessiveness, seriously who writes these books? Why on earth should you want her to get it removed? Shouldn’t even be a discussion!!

“Sex is physical. Primal. Natural. While men are more or less born understanding this, women learn in the process.””

“Men experience sex differently. A shitty first time probably won’t ruin it for a guy for years to come, but it might for a woman.”

With the amount of misogynistic comments in these books, I’m starting to wonder if the author is a man?
