Rather than being mature enough to say, "You know, that's really not my thing," she calls him names like "degenerate" and "pervert," then dissolves into a giant puddle of self-pity, including vodka shots and the obligatory eating from the ice cream carton. HOWEVER, this was a man she was all set to MARRY, but she wasn't even capable of having an adult conversation about what he'd like to explore in the bedroom. I have no problem that she isn't into that and that she even might be offended by the idea. When he proposes something other than marriage (a threesome), she freaks out, breaks up with him, and spends the next few pages ranting about what a "degenerate" he is and outlining all her other major failed relationships, all of which add up to her basically being a complete idiot when it comes to emotions and relationships.įor example, multiple sex partners? Definitely not everyone's idea of a good time. What she does love is the idea that he might propose the night he takes her to a fancy dinner. (Maybe it just never happened in Plano, Texas? I find that hard to believe.)Īlison is dating a guy that she clearly isn't in love with. Her desperation to get married was just too much, especially considering this was written in the 21st century. I almost stopped reading this book in the first 15 pages, I disliked the female protagonist so much.
