  1. Ha! You’re tired of every book conforming to patriachal norms and I’m tired of every book including a sexual assault! I guess no author can please everybody… ;) Apart from that, this book sounds like a lot of fun. :D

  2. Your review has affirmed for me that you would really enjoy The Bookish Life of Nina Hill! I reviewed it a couple of months ago, and it was really popular when it came out in July.

    Although I hate that the guy is rich and the book takes on a sexist layer, it does remind me of the ending of Disney’s Cinderella, where minimum wage jockey gets the wealthy dude. And I loved Cinderella so much that I watched it every day when I got out of Kindergarten. Erm, and I also watch it when I have a shit day as an adult.

    1. Aww that’s cute! Yah it’s a quibble of mine, doesn’t change whether or not you’ll like the book, I just rolled my eyes when I saw it LOL

  3. YES! I completely agree that reading for entertainment is worthwhile, essential even. Especially when making a point of also reading for other reasons. Balance, etc. The class issues here, and the related tropes you’ve highlighted, make me think this isn’t the perfect escape read for me, but I’m glad you had fun with it. I do love it when a book’s scenes make me laugh out loud! Or, even just smile widely. :D
