This book was very very short, can be read in less than an hour. The first thing I noticed was how big the font was and how much of a gap there is between paragraphs. The formatting is a little odd; for instance, if two people are talking, the quotations are often on the same line instead of being indented on the next line, if that makes sense. There were at least two sentences that were missing the period at the end.
I think this book had a LOT of potential. It could have been dragged out for much longer with many more scenes added in.
The one thing that I enjoyed was how descriptive the author was of Charlie’s appearance and character. It got me thinking: people who read the types of books Jessie writes often do fantasize about those exact situations happening, but with a man whom they find to be attractive. I myself read the same books and enjoy them. It shows that a lot of us can be very vain; because Charlie was an obese slob with a few strands of hair and absolutely no personal hygiene, he knows no one is attracted to him. If he had been replaced with a young, fit and stereotypically attractive man, this could’ve turned from a horror book into a smut book. Which is ironic to me and really gets me thinking.
I don’t really feel like I wasted my time since this was a super short read, but it just wasn’t very entertaining because there wasn’t much happening. I wish the author would have made it at least 100-150 pages longer.
