Baxter creatively pulls you into this story, telling it through Lola’s eyes. The author beautifully and seamlessly blends a story that spans over fourteen years, telling the story in the present time and using flashbacks that add depth to all of the characters involved.As a mathematician, Lola finds peace in numbers, especially when the rest of her life is a chaotic mess. She wants to change the world, to make it a better place, and because of this activism, Lola gets arrested from time to time. Lola never expects she’ll meet a guy, Wayne, while she is drunk on the subway, but that’s just what happens. Lola and Wayne have a special chemistry when they are together. Although Lola recognizes that this chemistry is important to their relationship, she chooses to concentrate on their differences instead. Wayne is a rugged and handsome stockbroker from Australia, and he works to raise money for prominent Republican, which Lola just can’t stand. Passionate about her causes, Lola is prone to yelling during arguments. I just loved how Wayne can stop Lola in her tracks with just a few words. The spitfire dialog between Lola and Wayne provide many laugh-out-loud moments throughout the story. Their differences are just too much for Lola to handle, so she breaks up with Wayne. As the years go by, life throws Lola many curveballs. Furthermore, no matter what relationship she is in, Lola has doubts about the person she is: if she’s good enough for her partner, and if she really is changing the world. Throughout the years, Lola sees Wayne from time to time and misleads him as to her current relationship status. Wayne is a stand-up guy who really loves Lola, and despite the lies and the deception, he just wants Lola to be happy. While they are apart, Wayne makes changes to his life and hopes that Lola will take note of these changes. It really is really beautiful to see when Lola finally puts all the components of a relationship into the right equation and realizes that she has truly loved Wayne all along.Lingerie for Felons is a thoroughly entertaining romantic comedy about a woman coming into her own and realizing that sometimes love waits for you to catch up.I received an eBook copy of the book for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
