One of the actors on the show, Marcus Caster-Rupp, comes to her defense and asks her out on a date to prove that she truly is beautiful. The internet being what it is, and she being overweight like she is, people start saying terrible things about her. In an attempt to be more self-affirming and proud of herself, she posts a picture of her cosplay online. She writes fanfiction based on the show, and is part of an online community – and has one close friend, in particular. The basic premise is that April, a geologist, is a fan of a Game of Thrones-type show called Gods of the Gates.
I got about an hour into the audiobook and wondered what the hell was going to happen for the other 9 hours I hadn’t listened to yet. I don’t necessarily think this was a bad book, per say, but I didn’t enjoy it. But maybe I am? I just wanted to giggle like a 12 year old.Īnyway. Maybe I’m a prude? I don’t think I’m a prude. I like a little tragedy mixed in, and unrequited love.Īnd this book taught me, I really don’t like explicit sex in my books. If I’ve learned anything, though, it’s that I pretty much only like modern romance, and I’m a bigger fan of those that don’t necessarily fit in the “Romance” genre.
Even those that I find entertaining don’t really stick with me all that well. I think, generally, I tend to fall somewhere in the middle. Some I’ve really liked, others have left me reeling with indifference.
I’ve had a few semi-successful forays into the world of romantic novels, and I haven’t really found them to my liking. I told my wife about the book, and she downloaded it from Audible. I know Olivia Dade has been getting a lot of reviews over the last year, so I thought I’d give this one a shot.
