"1.5 This was just under a 3 hour read and I’m angry that I finished it. Honey reads as a caricature of a southern person and it’s vaguely offensive. Every time he called her Lolita, I wanted to scream. First of all, it’s a RANCID reference considering his dad slept with a minor. Second of all, in what way is she your Lolita? Do you want to rape her until she has a mental breakdown and then dies tragically after her life falls apart? Do you hate women as much as Nabokov hated women? Do you want to groom her into being a sex puppet?? Just. Ew. The dirty talk was great, sure. But just SO much was bad with this. I have the vague idea that Tessa Bailey had never consumed Lolita outside of maybe watching the Jeremy Irons movie and seeing that picture of Bradley Cooper reading it to Sookie Waterhouse. Maybe it can be forgiven just. Ugh. What a disappointment."
