Time for some
honesty people, I found this book through many recommendations on social media
and then even had some contact with the author pre-read. Because of that, I am
not surprised Ditching The Dream was a good read, but I am a little surprised
it was a good book for me. I was slightly hesitant to pull the trigger and
start reading because I felt like I wouldn't be able to connect with
the characters. I am not married, have no kids and am much younger than
Elizabeth. The characters are much older than I am and much older than the characters
I normally read. Well, I was wrong and I loved it. It was easy to relate to
Elizabeth despite the age difference and the read was sexy (kind of an
understatement) and kept me wanting more.
Boy, when
Elizabeth does something, she really goes all in. She takes off to a new city,
and not just any city, but New York, and dives in deep with two men. It was a
refreshing plot change from the norm. She was still the bright eyed
inexperienced female lead, but she isn't the normal "Sandra D (Yes, that's
a Grease reference), woman should act a certain way" good girl mumbo
jumbo. She explores who she is, who she wants to be, and what she wants
sexually.
42 years and
never had an orgasm at the hands of a man?! 42 YEARS!! Blasphemy!! So very
wrong, seriously it makes me want to cry for Elizabeth. Shame on Greg!!
