As a teenager I loved choose your own adventure books. The idea of flipping through the pages, choosing different options and seeing where they took me appealed to me. When I saw the synopsis for this book that same feeling came back and I couldn't wait to get into it.
The choices begin right from the first few pages, and from then on your options come thick and fast.
I can't really say too much about the story because for every person who reads it, the story will be different. Suffice to say it has the ability to become steamy very quickly.
There is only one gripe, and that is reading it on a Kindle just doesn't work. The book tells you to go to certain pages, and on a kindle that means flipping through sometimes lots of page turns to get to where you are going. You can't go straight to the right page. It took the enjoyment out of it for me if I'm honest. I would recommend it as a light hearted read, but get the paperback for it to actually be what it's meant to be.

I really really wanted to like this book. The whole idea and concept was pretty awesome, but it just lacked originality on in the writing and scenes.

Relativt intressant koncept av en bok, lite som en app eller ett spel. Skiten är att det inte riktigt fungerar i en e-bok då det är svårt att klicka sina val och så känns det som att man har val, fast det har man egentligen inte.

I liked the idea of a sexy choose-your-own-adventure novel, but I went into it expecting some of the content to be problematic; people's sexual preferences are simply too specific for such a book to cater to everyone who reads it.
*spoilers*
While I applaud the author for including a story line that allows the (female) readers to experiment with another woman, other options were less liberal.
At least one character in the book is kink-shamed for the sake of comedy; and one story line even goes as far as to kink-shame the reader, if he or she makes the 'wrong' choice.
Though it - as you'd expect - caters to cis female women; and while you can't ask the author to include everyone's personal fetishes, it would do this story a lot of good if it were just a bit more open-minded.
Because choose-your-own-adventure books are pretty neat, and it would be awesome if more people could enjoy them.

Lighthearted fun. Very short.

Different kind of book. Wouldn’t have read it if I wasn’t doing the 2019 pop sugar challenge!
