Very enjoyable ending wrap up!

I liked all the POVs, each one was quite distinct and really added to the plot. The audiobook also used a full cast which was great. 

This was overall good, perhaps it lingered a bit long (and one key part felt a bit too convenient) but also it’s hard to be quick with 5 POVs. 

I thought this would be all fun and games until it took an increasingly dark turn. Not in a disturbing way, but not the fun lark I was anticipating.  

Most interested layout and perspective I’ve seen in a graphic novel. I enjoyed all the little tidbits in the intros of the protagonists + the randos. A reminder that everyone has something going on. 

What an unexpectedly fun ending! 

Based on the title and the tagline I thought this would be more philosophical discussion, instead it was more feminist manifesto. I quite liked that angle once I got used to it but I was taken aback. I did enjoy how clearly feminist the book is. I am curious to read her other work now. 

I was surprised by how many of the chapters revolves around children and raising them. As a person with no children and no foreseeable plans to have any, I wish there hadn’t been so many chapters dedicated to this. I still learned things and found it interesting, but it was an unexpected focus of the book. 

Overall I enjoy this and it was a lot of food for thought. 

I’ve never read anything by this author before but have heard great things, so I am surprised to be DNFing it after 37 pages. I had to make myself keep reading after 15 pages and finally put it down. This is just not the energy for me. 

 First up we have Josh the male protagonist on page 28 thinking: “And to be honest, I’ve been enjoying not having to deal with a woman. It was a reprieve. It had been my experience that all women, even the ones you’re only having sex with, are on some level exhausting. I wasn’t in any particular hurry to get back to it.” 

Then we have Kristen the female protagonist on page 37 saying to Josh: “I say what I think. I don’t have a coy bone in my body. Yes, you’re sexy. Enjoy the compliment because you won’t always like what I say to you, and I won’t care one way or the other if you do or don’t.” 

They are both just too abrasive for my taste even for this being enemies to lovers, so I’m out. 

More actual bodyguarding than I expected, should’ve known it’d be quality literature in that regard from Eden Finley. Her books always have depth. 

After 5 min I could immediately tell which kinks we would be diving into and I was indeed correct! Low on plot, high on smut. Low angst, as everyone else says which is nice. 

This book wasn’t good or bad, just straight forward: you know what you’re getting and it delivers.
