I just can’t esit for this book to end, I mean I’m so done hearing the same characters called their full names all the time. The book has quite a misogynistic view of women and I think it’s not only the period it describes, but the writers own thoughts. I’ve been rolling my eyes a lot. I’m slso bored.

This book is filled with misogynia. First it spends time describing how a woman has aged and uses imagery of worn out things, honey color hair fading to titanium and she losing her sparkle had it very rough and all that jazz and in the next fucking moment glorifies men who age and they become dignified silver foxes. Fuck this book.

I mesn the prose is beautiful and I greatly enjoy the storytelling (and a bump into Oscar Wilde?!) but what I do not enjoy is the concept of raping a virgin man that leads to a continuing intimate arrangement. And he starts caribg for her. Just let that one sink in a bit. Also the MMC is an obsessive asshole that no woman in the history of mankind would want to keep chasing them. It really is creepy and unsettling.
