Caution: Rated R for adult content 🔥🔥🔥
This book follows Queenie, a girl struggling with her mental health after a breakup. While I empathized with her anxiety troubles, there were other parts that just had my head shaking. 🤔 She struggles to be alone and she sleeps around, a lot. Her escapades are obviously careless and don’t always turn out so well. 😬 Truthfully, she’s a train wreck. Can we all agree, that unprotected casual sex in 2020 is just plain stupid? 🤦🏼♀️

The point was, Queenie knew it was bad behavior and wanted to get better, which is good. But come on, it’s not the 70’s... we all know better!! ❤️📚
There are mental health conditions like bpd that aid in people making poor sexual choices like having unprotected sex, so it isn't so cut and dry. Just keep that in mind when trying to empathize with those outside our own experiences.

My thoughts and feelings about this work of fiction may not be the same as anyone else’s and guess what, that’s okay! Read it and form your own opinion. ✌️❤️📚
Yes, I agree with you on this one, Danielle. Some people don't have any common sense at all, especially sleeping around now!

We’re paying for people to have prep - medication to keep them safe from HIV when they have unprotected sex. Funded by the NHS. Although it’s pretty mostly gay men, they can’t discriminate against women. Although I think they kind of discriminate with their criteria. The message on unprotected sex is really mixed these days.
But yes, in 2020, it’s a properly stupid thing to do!

Yes we can. And if you’d like, we could agree on oodles of other stupidities along the way.
One very small example: a date from OKStupid irl doesn’t look anything like his profile pics… she didn’t care to Skype-check on him, stupid…
… and later she has the clever idea to request an online-dater‘s current photo next to an uptodate newspaper - instead of, again, verify him on Skype. That was very much possible in this novel’s narrated time.
And this is just 1 tiny of many flaws the protagonist is burdened with.
