Anytime I see "Bridget Jones-esque" in a blurb I'm just going to assume it's problematic as hell from now on. This is the second book I've seen with that and it ended up being somewhat of a shit show mid way through the book. The first portion of this book was great. The protagonist is going through a kind of dry spell sex wise and after 3 years figures out that it's not because she can't find a great guy, it's because she just doesn't like GUYS. So she launches herself into the world of women and it's a great read until SLAM, we meet her first real serious girlfriend, who turns out to be an abusive, manipulative, non-consent asking for awful 50 shades-esque representative of the BDSM community. I'm not afraid of graphic sex scenes. Throw em at me. This, was not that. This was just awful, abusive, knives at necks, leaving her crying afterward, YOU IN DANGER GIRL run for the hills kind of I'm not trying to yuck your yum but only one person here is having fun kind of situation. Our protagonist finally grows a spine toward the end and leaves us with the profound thought of "We're all the villain in someone's story", which I suppose is somewhat true. Not a total waste of time, but it had some really abusive and problematic elements, plus it was RIFE with drug and alcohol abuse throughout.
