The C*ck Down the Block by Amy Award

1.0

This started off sooooo good, but the more the plot progressed the more my enthusiasm waned.

I'm all for "efficient storytelling" but this was far too rapid for me. From two "fake dates" to "all consuming love", I was a bit lost. Another thing that I didn't like, was how much telling and not showing was going on 😅 For example, one day before they go on their first fake date, his whole family is like "oh my God, be careful with her, Trixie is like a SISTER to us and we'll fuck you up if you break her heart" and I was like, that was literally NEVER established 😅

I also couldn't place those peopled ages, if you told me they were 16, 18, or even 20, I would have believed you. No way these people were full fledged adults 😅

But my BIGGEST issue was the fact that 

we know that Trixie is a virgin because the previous men in her life haven't treated her well. Which I would assume comes with it's own trauma or baggage, etc. And what does Chris do?? Fuck her in a locker room effectively taking her virginity in the MOST unromantic way possible, because apparently he had to have her 😐 As much as it was pushed on us that Chris cares about Trixie's emotional wellbeing and blah blah blah, all I got from that scene is that all Chris cares about is his fucking cock.

So yeah, after this point, I was a bit disappointed and just finished the book for the sake of it.
