Two people that have met once, at a volunteer-based Ren Faire, declare themselves as enemies for literally no reason, but then fall in love(?).. Yeah I don't think non-dark contemporary romance is for me. 

Concept is cute but other than the 'spice' the characters act like young teens at best. 
informative reflective medium-paced

Returning Home to Our Bodies provides an unique perspective of the human body and its connection to nature. I found the exercises sprinkled throughout to be refreshing and allowed for the reader to view their body, not as a machine as so much of society tells us it is, but as an organic being with deeper meaning - a reclaiming of what our bodies are at their core, not what they provide for society. 

Unfortunately, much of the book felt disjointed and like it was trying to do to touch on too many topics, so I was frequently pulled out of, what felt like, the core of the book and it's purpose. However, it was still quite good and I enjoyed thinking of my body in a different light.

While I went into this knowing it's meant to be a silly, goofy time, I did more eye rolling than giggling and found the modern language and slang to be more irritating than anything. 
dark fast-paced

Refreshing take on a classic.
