Good, not so obvious stuff.

Revisado: 12-06-18

It provides some useful networking concepts. I also would recommend this book for anyone starting out, as the concept of not burning bridges is very helpful later on and people usually realize it on their own only after hitting a certain degree of maturity.

It rings true

Revisado: 12-06-18

I'm grateful for people like Danielle Krysa who are willing to remind us that we don't need to be perfect, we just need to be personally fulfilled and embrace the things that make us creatively happy, regardless of the opinion of outer and, more importantly, inner big jerks.

Good place to start

Revisado: 12-06-18

I liked it a lot. It gives you tools to start your meditation practice as well as tips to stick with it and resources to deepen your knowledge.

You don't give the person you love a shiner!

Revisado: 01-10-18

I was expecting a strong heroine. Instead I find a woman who gives her man a shiner, hitting him in public, after planning to do so for a week for no real reason. No straying, no lying, nothing. I understand the writer needed a conflict, but really? Not only the storyline turns ridiculous with her bullying but also the writing is flat.

Funny but with creepy moments

Revisado: 12-14-17

The book is funny and well written. I enjoyed listening to most of it, but the main male character was disturbing: using his physical advantage to restrain a woman that is trying to leave, forcibly kissing people, sending mixed signals big time...
Wacked personalities are all around IRL, I don't need them crawling in my lighthearted leisure books posing as ideal men.

Let's ignore all the red flags.

Revisado: 08-03-17

Virginal 22 years old decides to go to a sketchy AF job interview. There, she decides it is a great idea to pop her cherry with an extremely pushy probable gang rapist, cause you know... Women have no brains if the guy has abs right? And if he can throw a pile of cash on those abs then even a Brown Valedictorian will ignore all the red flags, right?

Then it turns out the pushy a**hole has a seriously sadistic streak and that's where I stopped listening because if I wanted to hear about women being mistreated I would download the audio version of Eastern Promises.

I LOVE rough sex. I don't mind people being chocked/spanked/beaten during intercourse nor submission as long as I don't get rapy vibes every single time. Even though there is explicit sexual content in the first half of the book, I didn't get horny once. I literally had a frown in my forehead and an unsettled stomach reading most of it.

A BIG NO FOR MISTER PUSHY A**HOLE

scatological humour taken way too far

Revisado: 06-12-17

This novel is well enough written for me not to return it but:

-The humor is too forced. On every chapter there is a weird situation that involves everyone being extremely inappropriate (e.g.: a father telling his kids about their deceased mom's sex life, an old lady talking about orgies she used to have to complete strangers, someone drinking pee or sniffing someone else's but without a real reason behind it,...). I like crude humor, but not when it is so artificial.

-The hero (the main character's love interest) is plainly dislikable. He is portrayed as a handsome and rugged yet sensible man, but he doesn't act according to that description. He treats his 'best friend' as if said best friend was dumb, and every single moment of angst in the novel is caused by his insecurities or lack of communication with the main character. The heroin would be better off just finding a new boyfriend...

Lovely

Revisado: 05-31-17

I was skeptical at the beginning of the book as I'm tired of novels that idealize bullies/codependent alpha jerks. I'm glad I decided to give it a try. There is nothing unkind about the hero, and after the first few pages, the heroine is funny and relatable in every single chapter. The dialogs are engaging and intelligent. Five solid stars.

Boring

Revisado: 05-07-17

The narrators are wonderful, but the book itself is not very good: slow paced and without a clear storyline. I didn't like the pushy 'hero' until the very end. I wanted to put this book down for good in more than one occasion, which is rare for me.

Two and a half stars

Revisado: 02-28-17

The information this book provides is fine, but it would easily fit in a much shorter title. It gets repetitive and very boring at times. I'm a big fan of essays, so I know it's not just the genre. The narrator's voice is clear, but gives me the impression of being constantly chastising its audience.
