Very cute. Hits closer to home than I thought it would.

I'm really digging this author. I stumbled upon one of her novels while I was in the hospital a couple of years back, and I remember really enjoying her writing style. Chick Lit isn't my typical genre, but I look forward to checking out more of her work in the future.

I'll likely finish this one today...

Nowhere near as sleazy as the cover may suggest. It's actually a pretty darn wholesome BL. The bonus is that it has some pretty (tame, by most standards) "spicy scenes."

Since I'm a sap, this is just the kind of thing I'm into. I hope to check out more from this author.

If Captive Prince and Song Of Achilles had a baby...

Ok, Sloane Crosley. You are not as witty and quirky as you seem to think you are. Early 20-something me would probably be a little more forgiving, but early 20-somethinge was reading Miranda July, David Sedaris and the Chelsea Handler essay collections and thought those were damn funny.

Funny is not how I would describe this. Not even close. I really dont want to DNF, though. Time to power through.

I seem to be drawn, lately, to the books that were ubiquitous during my time as a bookseller at Borders (2007-2011). This book - all of Sloane Crossley's books - were just everywhere at the time.

I can already tell that I would have immensely enjoyed this back then, when I was in my early 20s. These kind of books hit a bit different after age 40...

Patroclus Tarantino.

Lmao

In all seriousness, though, seriously enjoying this so far. It just keeps getting better.

Hell yeah, this book is better than I thought it'd be.

No..No..No...No...No...Noooo...!!

NO.

NO. I just can't with this book.

Holy crap this is the cringiest novel I've encountered in a while. (And I've read a Colleen Hoover book!)

Not even 20 pages in:

"Bilairy's Balls, it's nearly winter, and you want me to take a bath?"

...the actual fuck? No context, we barely have a setting or established characters yet...

DNF, in ya go!

Damn...This series started off so good, and now it's become a slog. I am struggling to get through this one.
