This book only works because of the narrator being too stupid to live. I mean insanely fucking dumb. You’re telling me that a married woman with two kids is gonna let herself fall into this affair with a total stranger for…experience? And then we have the lying! Again, you’re telling me that a married woman with two kids never thought about them *once* until they showed up by surprise? Not fucking buying it. For an obvious self-insert she did not do herself any favors.
The one part I did like was the discussion about book banning vs reviewers who say that it’s irresponsible to write a book with such-and-such content, or even *shouldn’t be allowed to write on certain topics,* amounting to soft censorship. I encountered that first on this sub but I’ve seen it in other subs as well. It’s interesting that reviewers think it’s ok to say “no one should be allowed to write books about [insert subject here]” but then raise hell (as they should) when books are banned by conservative pearl-clutchers.
