Bailedbailed

Life‘s too short to be voluntarily annoyed and hate read this any longer.
I loathe this MC.
There should be a sub genre of ‘menopause‘ books- insufferable privileged women spending money to find solutions to their life.
Definitely a lot to discuss here.

Ruthiella Love this review! I liked it for what it was. July pushes boundaries, but your assessment is not wrong. 😆 12mo
Librarybelle Love this review! One of my favorite bailed reviews I‘ve read! 12mo

squirrelbrain You might still be able to contribute at the weekend! 🤞 If it doesn‘t upset you too much…. 12mo
Susanita I‘m hanging in there so far, but yeah she is…a lot. 12mo
TrishB @Ruthiella I think it‘s because I don‘t think the boundaries are real. Woman has mid life epiphany needs a lot of sex. 🤷‍♀️ lots to discuss! 12mo
TrishB @squirrelbrain I think I have a lot to say! Probably none of it relevant 😁 12mo
TrishB @Susanita you‘re very diplomatic 😁 12mo
Susanita Actually, I read a few more pages and decided to bail too! 12mo
julesG 👏👏👏 12mo
dabbe I think I'll skip this one based on this review. #hailthatbail! 🤩🤩🤩 12mo
Megabooks I‘d still love to hear your thoughts. Seriously! I love menopause reads, but I can definitely see how they‘re marmite. 12mo
BarbaraBB Lots to discuss. I am not a fan of menopause books per se but I liked this one much more than Sandwich, which I know you preferred. I do think J won‘t read the new Lombardo soon, having enough of menopause books for now! 12mo
Hooked_on_books I thought the menopause bit had a lot of potential and could be interesting, if the book would stop focusing on sex for two seconds and act like there‘s more to life than that. I don‘t blame you at all for bailing. I probably should have. 12mo
Oryx Love this review! I've been so looking forward to seeing the reviews of this come in 12mo
DGRachel I could not agree more! I love this review. 12mo
TheBookHippie I bailed… I couldn‘t even hate read it 🫣😬😵‍💫😝 12mo
TrishB @Megabooks I definitely have plenty of thoughts! 12mo
TrishB @BarbaraBB I think I liked Sandwich as there was some humility, normality and humour! But still a bit privileged. I didn‘t find any of those in this one! Like you I may give them a miss for a bit. 12mo
TrishB @Hooked_on_books agree. It seems the only ‘solution‘ to the menopause is to throw off the shackles of life and have lots of sex. Hard enough getting the menopause taken seriously as it is. 12mo
TrishB @Oryx @DGRachel @TheBookHippie it definitely makes for strong opinions 😁 12mo
TrishB @Susanita 👍🏻 12mo
Caroline2 “Voluntarily annoyed” love that expression Trish!! Yep, life is defo too short to spend with books that wind you up!! ? for me, the real privilege came later when she‘s all blasé about her annual gynaecologist appt who then just did a hormone test and got her on hrt like it was nothing. Cor, can you imagine that in this country!???? 12mo
TrishB @Caroline2 getting the app would be one battle, being taken seriously would be a step too far! Fantasy. 12mo
