Why is she a prude? Because her eyes widened when you made a blowjob joke? To a woman you still don’t even really know like that? Did a man write this book?

So is anyone else picturing this as Sanders or is it just me?

This character is unhinged - and definitely had not enough people say no to him as a child 😩

Why are they talking about lead-free deodorant in the year of our lord 2025? Does she mean aluminum? Does Meghan Quinn believe that you have to be careful about your brand of deodorant to avoid LEAD?

I can’t say I love the premise of this story: a woman needs to be married in the office in order to fit in? What century are we in? Because of this, the FMC lies and says she’s married when she’s actually divorced. Better to say nothing. She goes on to agree to a next day appointment with her boss’s partner, who is marriage counsellor, with her and her non-existent spouse. Again, what century are we in? A lot of readers find this set up funny, but I’m finding the humour rather cringey and forced. I hope this improves. I’ve often found romances can have cringey beginnings but manage to sort themselves out after that initial meet-cute.
Also have to say personally, I really don’t like Erin Mallon as a narrator. The other two narrators (MMC & marriage counsellor) aren’t that great either. I find EM tends to overact. This tends to backfire when the humour is forced. I usually don’t mind Teddy Hamilton, but I’m not vibing with him here. I’m trying to sort the narration out from the story. Unfortunately, Libby does not have an ebook copy of this so I can’t switch.

Forced into unending sleep or perilous insomnia, repeating tedious daily routines until your body rots, watching as your skin starts to glow or your hands sprout scales—these novels feature illnesses that are far from typical.
