Status Updates From How I became Lotus Raine......

I don't know what was worse: the writing, the story, or the message.

“Let me guess,” Reggie said. “The camera adds ten pounds of ugly.”

Of course it does, but only to women, right? I HATE REGGIE (heroine's best (female) friend). And Lucy isn't much better. And Brent has zero personality beside his dick.

“Every girl wants to fall in love. And most books are about just that.”

No, that's not all girl's primary goal.

And also, way to undermine the entire book industry. There are books about much more than love.

Out of all the new adults I've read, this one is definitely one of the worst written.

Also, Lucy doesn't have a big problem with the hero (who's a porn star), but when a female porn star shows, it's all contempt, hate at first sight, and endless shaming. Double standard? Why yes, yes indeed.

Of course that’s what anyone would assume. That I changed for a guy. Because that’s what us women do. Insert sarcasm here.

Well, based on the story so far, it was Brent who changed the heroine. Maybe the author didn't mean for it to be that way, but the way it's written makes it perfectly clear that is how it went.

So, apparently, the first the heroine does anal there is basically no preparation before the hero goes in, and the only lube used is on the hero.

WHY NOT DO THE FUCKING RESEARCH? THE KEY IS LOTS OF PREP AND LUBE. jeez

“The key to this going smoothly, is for you to relax your body. Don’t tense up. I’m going to try my hardest to keep that from happening."

NO THE KEY IS TO USE LOTS OF LUBE.

The funny part about it is people push aside these real life possibilities while reading a fictional story. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Just freaking go with it folks.

Yeah, so let's all be racist, sexist, abusive, and what the fuck ever. Just go with it, right?

“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” Brent quoted Newton’s Third Law of Motion almost shocking the panties right off of me. Not because I was a closest physicist. But because Brent was obviously more than just a pretty face and bangin’ body.

Sorry (not sorry) for not being impressed by this. Newton's laws are basic physics; (almost) everyone knows them.

Shepard’s eyes wander down to my perched breast before quickly returning to my face. I don’t blame him for looking. Women don’t dress like I am to not have people look.

As a woman, I had never understood the appeal of sucking dick—not until that very moment.

'As a woman'? What does that have to do with anything?

“In all honesty, knowing that you’re nothing like the norm I’m used to, makes me that much more attracted to you.”

WHY? Why do we have to have a misogynist female lead, AND THIS KIND OF MALE HERO?

I wanted him to feel somewhat special. Even though that’s only something females tend to feel

We finally reached the lobby and as soon as the door opened, I pushed my way through like I had just been trapped in an erotic gas chamber and was desperate for air.

Authors, never use the words "gas chamber" in any setting you intend to be sexy/romantic/erotic. If you don't understand why, please do a quick google search on what it actually is.

I could tell her that the scum on my boot is more worthy of my attention than she is, but I don’t.

The female lead's contempt for other women is repulsing.

“No, you’re not. You’re just my overly horny friend,”

Stereotypical sex-obsessed best friend.

I let out a breath I hadn’t known I was holding.

Lazy writing.

Man was I thankful for my nonpainted on shorts at that very moment. And so was my conscious pussy.

Conscious?

She was dressed way more revealing than I’d ever attempted. I’m confident, but damn, I didn’t want to get molested.

victim blaming.

I didn’t get how readers could be so blunt when in disagreement. Usually the point of reading was to escape everyday reality. But once some cross that line, they get so hell bent over something they don’t find logical. Well, let me tell you something—life isn’t always logical.

I'm going out on a limb and will guess this book has plotholes and/or isn't logical at times.

I'm sure stranger things have happened then birds and bees fucking.

Grammatical error in the first paragraph.

Off to a great start!

Mmmmmm interesting

Haven't read enough to decided if I like it or not
