Receive Blue Skies, No Candy Depicted By Gael Greene Represented In Script
I first read this book when I was in my early's and newly married, It was so explicit and dirty amp just a fun read.
I bought the book years later, as I was approaching, just like Kate in the book, Wow, what a difference. My memory was of a light sexual romp, but when I read it again I found it to be really, really depressing! Still explicit, just not light at all! This was my readprivatelybeshockedgigglealotthenpasstofriends book.
It was on my mom's bookshelf though I don't know why since she was not a romance reader, But she had it, I read it, I was deliciously scandalized because I wasish and so I had to bring it to school to trade to the other girls who brought similar books for the exact same reason.
This was our DIY sexed, We flagged the sexy parts of our books, then passed them around for abridged reading under the the desks during class, We were little reading rebels,
I have no idea what the book was about, Food and sex. And sex. And sex. And I think a fight, And then food and sex and food,
I never want to read this again because I don't want my magical little bubble of this being the dirtiestandmostfun book on earth to be shattered.
I don't want to read and understand the actual story, I want this to be my own personal Iwasabadgirl Food and Sex book for all of my eternity! Once again, no recollection, She makes "Shades of Grey" look tame, One of the hottest books I've ever readby the former restaurant critic of the NYT, I really am not prude or anything and did not have a problem with explicit language,
But maaaan, this book,
I bought it for one Euro at an antiques store and I am very happy that I didn't spent loads of money on it.
I read the first page in the store and thought that it was funny,
But now, a few months later, I have actually read the book and it wasn't funny anymore,
. the language
That's probably caused by the translation, but the words that this woman used for her vagina,
Cringeworthy!
. the characters
They had no substance, And Kate behaved like she was, Well, besides the sex.
I don't thinkyear olds have that much sex,
. the "story"
What was this book even about
NOTHING happend,
Nothing.
She didn't do anything besides having sex, talking about her vagina, saying how good she looks even though she's '', eating and having more sex.
The book had a few good ideas, but these were not at all wellelaborated, Like Feminism and the womens movement,
The only good thing about the book was, that you can read it really fast, No matter how much you hate it, Read in. Probably read because it had the word candy in the title, Don't remember it. Ugh couldn't even finish. Date, too many characters which aren't developed, Waste of time and money My first trashy novel book, I had to hide it from my Mom, Paperback C Smut meets New York Times food critic, Some amusing descriptions pop up, excuse the pun, See sitelinkNo Dutch copy available: Fiction never translated into Dutch/Flemish for a more elaborate review in Dutch,
'Raunchy and elegant', according to the front cover of my edition, Raunchy and elegant Hmmm, not quite, Unconvincing Yes, absolutely and totally,
sitelinkBlue Skies, No Candy reminded me of sitelinkFear of Flying by Erica Jong, which appeared a few years earlier and which is, in my humble opinion at least, a far better book as there are quite a few similarities.
Beautiful photography on the cover of my edition though, at least that's something I can say in favour of the book,
