How Hard Can Love Be? by Holly Bourne

1.0

I'm not sure what the worst part of this book was. The so-called 'feminism' that revolved around hating on other women for the way they act and calling them chauvinist pigs, while claiming you can't have a boyfriend and be a feminist, while continuing to base your self worth on men. Perhaps its the weird and uncomfortable treatment of Russ as a native american (does holly know there are more native americans than just jacob from twilight?), and the fact that we're just accepting Lottie gets turned on by native american guys? It could be the weird fat-shaming comments about a literal child, where she describes his fat as 'melting ice cream' and exclusively refers to him as obese. It could even be the fact that alcoholism is used as a desperate plot point to make a romance more angsty.
Either way. I hated it.
