I read this for book club. It isn't my usual type of read and it didn't really change my mind on this kind of fiction. It wasn't poorly written or anything, but the story really just wasn't for me. I appreciate/agree with the author's views on things like sex work, gender double standards, etc., but they were presented in a way that was too on-the-nose for me. The plot points were a bit predictable too at times. I didn't look forward to going back to it at all and basically just finished it because it was short and so I could talk about it at book club. Not a total waste of time, nothing against it, etc., just not my genre!
