So, it’s with utter delight that I consumed two new books: Too Much: How Victorian Constraints Still Bind Women Today, by Rachel Vorona Cote, and Pretty Bitches: On Being Called Crazy, Angry, Bossy, Frumpy, Feisty, and All the Other Words That Are Used to Undermine Women, edited by Lizzie Skurnick, a collection of essays centered around the words used to demean and undermine women. For most of my life, I’ve internalized my ugly, messy emotions as proof that I was wrong. I’ve known since I was a child that everyone would be more comfortable if I were sweeter, quieter, lesser. I get “too excited” during arguments, “aggressive” when discussing politics, “intense” when feeling emotion. My sandwich-ravishing is representative of the other ways I move through the world: ever-cognizant of how I must tone down this or that.

![]() ![]() It's just one of those books, when I was reading it, I enjoyed it, but the more I think about it, the more issues I have with it. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll wake up and choose violence and round down, we'll see. I really expected more happy scenes between each couple and instead we got some heavy stuff and unnecessary fights & drama.īUTTTT despite all these issues that I have with this book, I still had a good time (mostly) reading this and I'm feeling generous right now to round up the 3.5 stars. ![]() These kind of conflicts can be handled in each couple's full lenght novel. If you decide to write additional novella for each couple, then I expect a lot of domestic fluff and not fights about important milestones like marriage, pregnancy, kids etc. The Legacy is not what I have in mind when I think of an epilogue novel(las). ![]() Love the idea of them being the first book in the series and then, the last book ending with their chapters, but Elle Kennedy did (all) the characters so dirty. So I actually re-read HannahGarrett's novella again and felt sooo disappointed. EDIT: I knew it was coming that one day I wake up and think about this book again and hate most about it. ![]() |
