How to Get F#cked by Ali Enne- A Surprising Treat!
This novel was a surprising little treat! I was looking for a fun romance and with a tagline like, “A virgin, a porn star, a comedy” how could that NOT draw me in?
Bailey is so perfect in her imperfection. She is truly “every girl” with their insecurities and second guessing themselves. That being said, she is also strong and even if she doesn’t always feel confident, she definitely fakes it will until she is confident. She is after her story, an interview with a well-known porn star for her magazine
Eli is confident and secure yet still vulnerable. He knows that Bailey is not completely comfortable with the world he works in, but he does everything he can to make her feel special while helping her to navigate uncomfortable situations to really understand his life for her article.
Enne has created dynamic characters that grow and yet still remain true to themselves. They are real in their life experiences; difficult relationships, divorced or deceased parents, and growing up fast. This novel is part romance, part comedy, part drama…. with a little bit of porn thrown in for good measure! Not enough to make me uncomfortable but definitely enough to be HOT! I laughed out loud at some of the commentary Bailey had about herself and her self-image. I can identify with her struggles with her mother and her SPANX. I even cried in the final chapter. I couldn’t believe I had tears while reading the same novel that contained multiple penis cakes, porn stars, and bondage.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to have ALL of the feels. If you are looking for something to make you laugh and cry but a little edgy too….. you know, a romance that is not the typical “card store movie”, this book will not disappoint.
4 stars
