A little Oxford book haul that I’m slowly making way through this month. I got these books at a charity shop, Waterstones Oxford, Blackwells Oxford, and Bookstop! Currently I’m reading Witch Hat Atelier Vol. 1, which is quickly becoming my new favorite manga 🥰

I started listening to Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez on audiobook, and, to be honest, I sort of picked it as a hate read, (1) because it is a romcom, and I deeply dislike romance novels with rare exception (2) because the main characters are doctors, and I was expecting the medical inaccuracies to drive me crazy. But I’m a few chapters in now, and I gotta say, this is a fun book. I’m already pretty charmed by her characters, and I hope she can keep it up.

There’s a scene where the male love interest meets the female lead at work, and he’s so astonished by how beautiful she is that he becomes an awkward fumbling mess. And on the one hand, that’s corny af. On the other hand, why isn’t this happening to me? When is some hot doctor gonna be totally dumbstruck by my beauty at work, huh??

#I will probably liveblog reading this because it’s actually quite fun so far #I have laughed out loud #and the medicine is passable so far #at least the author understands the work structure which is the thing that usually drives me craziest #also answer to my own question is never lol #because I look like shit at work #I am not trying to look pretty I just try to minimize how haggard I look lol #yours truly #abby jimenez #read along #my content #my text posts

Look at that man-trum. Eight thousand nerves in the clitoris and still not as sensitive as a white man not getting his way.

This is one of the few times I’m sad to speed through a book. I still have two weeks left on my loan, so I’ll for sure listen to it again at least once.

15 (More) Sexy Fake Relationship Romance Books

It’s a tried and true trope that can be executed in so many ways, and one that never fails to deliver. A personal favorite of mine, fake relationship romances can involve strangers, friends, enemies, or forbidden someones, all caught up in situations that soon spiral into unexpected territory. I love the little moments when deciphering what’s real and what’s fake is difficult, the moments when…

The Friend Zone Book Review

Kristen Petersen doesn't do drama, will fight to the death for her friends, and has no room in her life for guys who just don't get her. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children. Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen -- especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. The only catch: Josh wants a big family someday. Kristen knows he'd be better off with someone else, but as their attraction grows, it's harder and harder to keep him at arm's length.

Rating: ★★★

The Friend Zone is an easy enough story to get through, although I cannot say it was particularly engaging. There were of course moments I enjoyed more than others, and I do feel like the main characters came across as having chemistry. Lack of chemistry is a complaint I often find myself having with these kinds of books, so at least that was a plus. However, I cannot say that I especially liked either of the main characters, and Kristen in particular had very much of a ‘cool girl’ and ‘I’m not like other girls’ vibe. This came not just from her perspective, but Josh’s also, and it was irritating.

I can appreciate the struggles that she was going through, including the medical diagnoses, made certain aspects of her life difficult. But I must admit that I found it hard to sympathise with certain aspects of this due to the way she let it too often colour her relationships and impact on other people, without actually informing them of the issues which I felt would be relevant to their relationship.

I think my main problem with the narrative is that it felt very much the same – it dragged on by focusing on the same thing over and over again, until the main traumatic moment later in the novel. I also felt that some of the sex scenes were incredibly weird and uncomfortable to read, but maybe that’s just me.

I initially had issues with the magical pregnancy because I felt it defeated the purpose of the infertility issues and the struggles Kristen and Josh went through in order to be on the same page, only for a solution to arise from nowhere. However, on reading the author’s note, it became clear that Kristen’s medical journey closely mirrored what a friend of the author went through, so that was completely understandable. It was grating at first precisely because these kinds of story conclusions are rampant in both written and visual media, without consideration for character development.

Similarly, I disliked how the main traumatic event appeared to be constructed to create drama for the main characters, and further relationship issues between them. Again, this is another common lazy writing technique, however, I have since learned that the second novel in the series, in which this secondary character was already deceased, was written first. So I cannot accuse the author of that either.

Apologies to Jimenez for my original reactions to her content, it’s unfortunate that by coincidence her main plot points happen to mirror very common (and in my opinion, lazy) writing. That’s why we cannot simply discount a narrative because it doesn’t exactly fit into our own worldview – there are plenty of stories to tell, and even ones that we may not like may actually be reflective of reality for some people, and it’s not ok to discard their truth.

That being said, either way I felt that The Friend Zone was a bit too bland for me, and aside from my initial issues with some of the main plot points, I just didn’t really like the main characters. I might read the second novel though, because I am interested to see how Sloan’s story turns out after everything.

Warnings: sexual harassment, sexism & misogyny, sex scenes, infertility, drunk driving, car accident, strokes, character death, emotional cheating
