completed : 10 july 2021 rating : 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️ | 🌶🌶🌶🌶 oof very much spice tw⚠️ : um from the author's note in the book "due to excessive profanity, vulgarity, and graphic sexual content, this book is not intended for - and should probably be completely hidden from - anyone under the age of eighteen."
chapters : 45 age group : new adult, adult genre : memoir, non-fiction
summary : school psychologists aren't supposed to write books about sex. doing so would be considered "unethical" and "a fireable offense." lucky for you, ethics was never my strong suit.
after spending years trying to spice up my sex life, i gave up and took to my journal. perhaps my gorgeous, cold, number crunching husband simply wasn't capable of the kind of passion i'd come to expect. after all, my ex-boyfriends—a tattoo artist turned u.s. marine turned motorcycle club outlaw, a baby-faced punk rocker out on parole, and a heavy-metal bass player—were every bit as tattooed and testosterone-fueled as the leading men in my favorite romance novels. if i couldn't have that kind of passion again in real life, i could at least write about it. right? nobody had to know. it would be my little secret.
well, guess what? my husband read that shit.
and guess what else? he upped his fucking game.
drunk with power and under the dubious advisement of my best friend and colleague, i began testing the limits—crafting journal entries specifically designed to manipulate ken's behavior. for the most part, he responded beautifully... except when he didn't.
notes : go read it.
it's so fucking funny but then again, i pause and i'm like wtf did i just read? and then i'm also like wait this is a memoir, this shit actually happened.
i think bb is extremely funny. i love all her nicknames for everyone and her glossary. the way she described some scenes- ugh ded.
i did not expect to like the book as much as i did. the only reason i didn't rate it 5 stars is because there were some facepalm moments and eye rolls.
her life is so much more interesting than mine.
there's also a tv series adaptation called sex/life on netflix. it's rated 18 so i warned you, but then again i did put the tw about this book. (and i'm sure a lot of you have seen/heard about it).
there's not much more to say the summary pretty much explained it all.
