aimiller 's review for:
Private Pursuits
by Laverty Sparks
This was... sort of wild. It, I assume, was intended to be a kind of melodrama, and in some respects it definitely fulfilled that, but it was also just. Gross, in a lot of places? There was a lot of body shaming, like a LOT, and literally all of the men except the romantic hero were disgusting?
There was also a rape sequence in addition to the disgusting sexual abuse of nonconsensual voyeurism, and it was just dropped as a plot moment that then like had no real impact on the story. It was totally unclear to me why it had to be like that.
It also wrapped up way too quickly, as if we hit the third act and suddenly had to tie up all these loose ends that made no sense. I'm a person who is pretty okay with melodrama, but this was just way too poorly paced and underplotted to really enjoy.
