olivialandryxo 's review for:
Satisfaction Guaranteed
by Karelia Stetz-Waters
lighthearted
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
Overall, this was a perfectly good romance, and I appreciated the emphasis on queer sex positivity. The romance itself was also sweet. My issue was that I never really got attached to either of the protagonists, or invested in the story. While I did like and would recommend Satisfaction Guaranteed, I liked Stetz-Waters’ other book, Worth the Wait, more and would suggest prioritizing that one. :)

Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Death, Drug use, Toxic relationship
Toxic relationship: one protagonist was previously romantically involved with one of her professors, and there’s discussion of it throughout the book. While it was not a healthy relationship, it was consensual; there’s no sexual assault involved. Drug use: mainly by side characters, but described on page nonetheless. Death: occurs prior to the story, but is a central theme of the book.
