A review by katieanne4
Finders Keepers by Linnea Sinclair
Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
partially, because it was just tooooooo adherent to the genre conventions, do you know what i mean? it felt like it wasn't it's own take on the conventions but just participating in them. and hard SF has never been my #1 fave. (but also, i want everything to be "with a twist"-- or so high quality it transcends the tropes)
partially, and i never articulated this to myself before, but i read almost exclusively MM and bounce off a lot of MF. i'm fat and 40 and when I read about the MMCs and how thrilled they are by petite, young FMCs, especially when it's kind of insta-lust as this one is (insta like in the first 60 seconds) i find it impossible to enjoy-- it's like someone is getting what i want instead of me because they don't have my defects. instead of them getting what i want instead of me because, like, it's fiction.
