I too did not like this. #CBRBingo #Blackout!?

December 1, 2018 by narfna 4 Comments

Well I tell you what, this book. It was just unpleasant.

I would not have picked this up if it weren’t for bingo, and none of the other choices looked at all appealing. I thought, well if you pick that one at least you won’t  be bored! And that was true. But my version of not being bored mostly consisted of me yelling at my audiobook about how much I disliked almost everything that was going on.

Maybe she is a different author now but at the very least this book has not aged well, and at most I really do not like Chelsea Handler, like really a lot.

This book was not funny to me, just endless pages of her fetishizing or being mean, showing even the nicest of her sexual partners little respect. She also came off to me like she thought all this stuff she did was just so cute and rascally and unique but she just comes off like an asshole.

And there was definitely room in the market for a sex positive funny book about a lady seizing her sexuality and not being ashamed of it. There still is. But I don’t think this book is it.
