I stopped reading All the Boys at the 40% mark on my Kindle when I realized that I really didn't care who the heroine picked, or what happened to her. She had all the depth of a Post-It note. Here's what she did: She made a list of potential husbands and then started contacting them. #1 was a firefighter. She promptly slept with him. He was lousy in bed. It was all his fault (couldn't possibly be hers). He got knocked off the Potential Next Husband list and moves to the Let's Just Be Friends because he didn't fill the Good in Bed box on her checklist (yeah, she has one of those, too). Then she sleeps with him a couple more times, and happily, he improves. She reconsiders. After all, he fills the Good-Looking, Healthy, and Well-Built check boxes. He may be "trainable." Then she flies to Rio to see #2, which turns out to be a misunderstanding. She's actually been hearing about the younger brother all these years. So she turns her attention to the brother, Sergei, who's pretty hot. Hmmm. Soon, she's looking at Sergei and thinking about check boxes, even though he's involved with someone else. He takes her to a tango hall, where she's fondled by dozens of strangers til dawn. I think it's supposed to be sensual. Not to me. Yuck.I gave up halfway through the party scene. It's hard to care about someone this shallow.Would I spend my hard-earned money on this book? NoWould I search out other titles by this author? NoSensuality rating: 1
