Malin's Reviews:

The opposite of slut-shaming

February 8, 2016 by Malin 4 Comments

Bella, the student manager of the Harkness varsity hockey team, loves sex and isn’t afraid to say so. She knows that a lot of guys and especially their girlfriends frequently say uncomplimentary things about her behind her back because of her reputation, but Bella isn’t ashamed of enjoying sex in all its many forms. Hence when her hot downstairs neighbour ends up on her doorstep one evening with a bottle of wine, dejected because he broke up with his girlfriend on his birthday, she cheers […]

A college romance with truly monumental amounts of angst

February 6, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Having spent the previous year pretty much focused on hockey and dating as many different women as possible, Bridger Macaulley’s life drastically changes when he realises that his dead-beat mother isn’t just doing drugs anymore, but that she’s now part of a gang that actually cooks meths at home. He takes his seven-year-old little sister Lucy out of there and hides her in his dorm room, while spending every available moment while she’s at school taking a double course load so he can graduate faster […]
