A review by rachrreads
Love, Only Better by Paulette Stout
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
When I read the premise I was really excited to read this book. The main character, Rebecca, struggles with achieving pleasure during sex. Something that is not really talked about and is seen as shameful, but I could not get into this.
First of all, the study. What kind of study is this? She gets there and she has to sit up on a chair in a spotlight while they’re all in the dark? Really? Not even people behind plexiglass or something? It seems sketchy. Then they tell her they have to video tape her talking about it? Why? Isn’t that something she should have been aware of when signing forms?
Secondly, her friends seem like class A jerks. She tells them she is embarrassed and doesn’t want to talk about this study she got into. You think they’d leave her be, right? WRONG! They berate her at the restaurant to the point where she feels embarrassed and picked on.
I tried to continue but I just am not interested in where this plot is going. The writing and plot was not intriguing enough to make me want to continue.
