Hipster Brothel by K.A. Merikan
1.0
Ok. So that's that. Honestly? Nothing happened but a bunch of phrase dropping of hipster words and things (Crossfit, Uber, Etsy, homemade jam, vegan, beard trimming... the likes). The book did not explore ANYTHING in any direction. Everyone was basically cool with everyone the entire time. I never found out if the guy was called Jo or Joe for real (I assume the Joe was a typo), I only briefly heard he's 25 and did I mention that nothing happened for the entire book?
It read like normal hipster drama life and that's it. There were things that could've been explored, but never where.
How did Jo(e) really feel about this whole gay swinger party?
Did he have another talk with his mam?
How did coming out with the rest of the family go?
Why did Mr B never share his coming-out stories to encourage Jo(e)?
Why does it keep saying Mr B has no money but he still does stuff like getting a professional beard trimming done or call an Uber?
Everyone is going on about Crossfit but apart from phrase dropping, it's not really mentioned
We got Juniper and at the same time we didn't - I found her the most interesting character and she all of appeared on like 2 pages - says a lot about the book
Basically - it was all fluffy pink cotton candy but nothing happened. Even the sex scenes weren't worth the time. It was more like: first this, than that, than that, orgasm unicorn rainbows, cuddling.
Yes, this book could've been great if someone would've actually been brave enough to tackle the potential problems and controversies, explore the characters and their motivations. Well, this someone aren't the authors of this book. Then this is me probably expecting way too much.
