I am no bra burning feminist- not by a long shot, a very very long shot. However, this book just made me cringe- it seems to me that the author thinks that readers would find her chauvinistic male protagonist to be appealing. Well some might find him to be, but intelligent readers would be insulted. You can write a very alpha male character without him being a complete a$$ wipe.He took her virginity whilst drunk on the floor of a bathroom at a party and then told his friends that his ( I am paraphrasing here because of review guidelines) junk would fall off if he did that and laughed about it. He claimed it was because he was young- well if he was such an idiot at 18 then what makes him better at 22. The author certainly did not elaborate on him contemplating his mistakes and trying to redeem himself and his actions. He just continued on sleeping with anything in a skirt while drunk out of his mind. So I really don't get how she forgave him not even a quarter way in the book.Other peeves-There is nothing funny about "dirty old men" trying to grab the a$$es of young women.There is nothing endearing about parents who act and talk like they are teenagers. I am no prude but the language used is offensive- B--ch this, Eff that dropped during every sentence. I understand that the book is based in the deep south in a small town and as such some colloquialisms would be a given. This book just made me lose some brain cells I am never going to get back. Ugh.Don't waste your time and money on this one- especially when there are much better books out there.
