Terrible narrator!
Revisado: 05-05-24
Fun book if you can get past the narration. It's stilted, and she ruins perfectly good sentences.

From a former Playboy Playmate, an unflinching look at the objectification and misogyny of the Playboy mansion, a woman’s stolen young adulthood, and her journey to self-acceptance–plus a rare look inside Hugh Hefner’s final days.

What?
Revisado: 01-30-24
She portrays herself as a victim, and yes, Playboy culture victimizes women, and so did Hefner. But why, in God's name would any woman stick around as the "girlfriend" and then "wife" of a man who regularly has sex with numerous other women and treats them all like sh*t? Because she wanted a centerfold, a modeling career, to live in the mansion (which sounds like a hellshish experience)? I get that society still makes women feel that their worth is their looks, but most women, even those as beautiful as she apparently is, do other things with their lives instead of doing what Hefner wants just for, what, exactly? I realize I will be called unsympathetic, but I know many beautiful women who have ZERO interest in being invited to the Playboy mansion. Sorry.

Romance novel
Revisado: 11-17-23
I expected something a bit more realistic and gritty. One reviewer said it is "hugely atmospheric." I hoped to learn more about the real undocumented experience in NYC Chinatown, or the former one-child policy. What I got is a not very well disguised romance or YA novel. The writing is unsophisticated and the characters generic. This should have been published by Harlequin.

As a Catholic cop in the mainly Protestant RUC he still has a target on his back, and with a steady girlfriend and a child the stakes couldn’t be higher. After handling a mercurial triple agent and surviving the riots and bombings and assassination attempts, all Duffy wants to do now is live. But in his final days in charge of Carrickfergus CID, a missing persons report captures his attention.

This book presented itself as sympathetic to colonized people, but there was a LOT of White Man's Burden attitude here. Not to mention that a woman in that time would NOT have said that something was "impactful." The noun "impact" did not morph into an adjective until the 21 century. And... in the circle of communist nationalists why was there no mention at all of Ho Chi Minh?

Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

Ridiculous "plot"
Revisado: 07-06-23
The alleged "twists and turns" were silly and just seemed like the author was trying to one-up herself with each one. I got bored.

A sanitized view of the Japanese in WWII.
Revisado: 04-04-23
As a retired history teacher and avid reader of WWII books, both fiction and non-fiction, I found this to be "Japanese occupation light." What they did to many, many nurses (Singapore?) when they took the area was incredibly brutal. I know that there was disease and starvation, and that killed a lot of POWs, but they were far more horrific than that. Plus, it read like a romance novel with all of the love stories neatly tied up. Life is not like that, and WWII sure wasn't.

Pointless
Revisado: 05-07-22
I'm not sure what I was expecting. A story maybe? A plot of ANY kind? What I got was a disjointed jumble of scenes about really uninteresting people. It was poorly written too.
As someone who has lived in Chicago, NOT the burbs , and has worked in restaurants for many years I was expecting something different. Very boring.

Alice, a fierce and respected Parisian cop, wakes up on a Central Park bench with no memory of the night before, handcuffed to a complete stranger - a musician named Gabriel. Disoriented, dazed, and with someone else’s blood on her shirt, Alice works furiously to reconnect the dots. She remembers clubbing with her friends the night before on the Champs-Élysées. Gabriel claims he was playing a gig in Dublin. Was she drugged? Kidnapped? Why is the gun in her jacket pocket missing a bullet? And whose blood is on her clothes?

If I had gotten this from the library I would have brought it back after the third chapter. But, since I bought it, I read it.
The plot was convoluted and the dialogue laughable.

Very shallow and predictable.
Revisado: 04-07-21
It's not that I am incapable of reading a romance novel. I have found some to be fun. But this one was predictable at every turn, and the dialogue was downright embarrassing.
Sorry folks, but I need more of an actual plot to keep me engaged.
