The good: First off, this book is fucking hilarious. The h has this internal commentary of her reactions which had me dying at times. Overall, I love the h. She had a very realist reaction to her very bizarre situation. She just might be my favorite h of all time.
The bad -Very bad representation of BDSM to the point where it's offensive. It's hard to say if the "scenes" were BDSM or the product of someone very mentally ill (the H is very sick and ends up being institutionalized). If it's actually BDSM, then very bad etiquette. The author also mixed up the relationships of dom/sub, master/slave, owner/pet. If it's not, then it's just BDSM slander for quirky plot points. Which is what I'm inclined to believe based on that joke of an epilogue. -There's some bizarre references to Caddyshack, Animal House, and LOTR. -The h's mother is Mexican. Cool, a POC MC. Except anything relating to that heritage, except occasional references to stereotypes, is never leveraged. So what was the point? -At one point the H suddently decides to attempt suicide. It is such a surprise. And his "recovery" is glossed over! What!?...more
