I'm not in the mood to listen to Drew argue with his toddler over Kate's boobs. It's weird, dude.
But the killer (for me) was listening to his douchey inner monologue as he bragged about getting blowjobs from Kate while she was pregnant...because they prevent preeclampsia.
Oh, piss off with that shit.
Now, if you were in love with sucking dick when you were pregnant, more power to you.
My personal experience with pregnancy (all 4 of them!) was that I was vomited up everything for 9 months. I would inevitably find out I was preggers because I had a stomach virus that just wouldn't go away, then continue puking daily, until the final blessed barf in the fucking delivery room.
So, perhaps these experiences tainted my view of Drew's claims that Kate enjoyed deep throat whilst growing a life in her womb.
That wasn't the only thing that turned me off, though. For some reason, this time around I found Drew's personality to be less funny and more grating, in general. Plus, Kate was written like some sort of a super-human madonna/sex goddess. <-- So easy to pull off with a toddler!
Riiiiiiight.
I'm seeing lots of high marks and glowing reviews for this one, so if you were excited to read this, don't worry about it too much. It probably just wasn't the right fit for me.

Great review. Thanks.

Well, I'm with with you. I feel like I read this...agree on the motherhood aspects. With a toddler and pregnancy (if I'm reading this right) I'm far more likely to say "don't come near me, I don't want to smell you" and be all touched out from the toddler...but what do I know. If I recall correctly, this was a miss for me too.
Oh God!! Your first line 😂🤣

I certainly believe moms can be sexy, but this just didn't ring my bell...if you know what I mean?

I fixed that!! I meant Oh God!!! 🤣
Sounds like you made the right decision in DNFing your book.
Eew! Thanks for the warning. I'll stay faaaaar away from this one. You may similarly want to avoid A Head Full of Ghosts. I literally had to find puppies and kittens to look at after the scene that made me stop reading it.P.S. Sorry to hear about the vomitous pregnancies! Although I admit that the "final blessed barf in the fucking delivery room" sounded so bad that I had to laugh.
“piss off with that shit� is one of the most beautifully delivered lines of a review that I’ve read! I literally LOLed.
