panI needed a book for #DR and already had this one, so I tried to approach it without focusing on the sexual misconduct allegations against the author. But the deep seeded misogyny and treatment of women as objects to be used made that impossible. Which is too bad, because there is also some good stuff in here, but it‘s much harder to see.

This actually surpassed the hype…it was even better than I expected! It‘s hilarious, sex-positive, with diverse characters, and spicy!! Love the witty banter, the fine nuances of the story, and the bisexual mc. She‘s thick, smart, rich, nerdy and did I mention smart? #Dr.Rugbae for the win!
