No Strings Attached

2005, Millie Criswell

2.7/5

Well, this was an annoying read all 'round. The sample had me thinking it was just going to be a simple, sweet friends-to-lovers tale, but that's not what I ended up getting. No, instead I got the irritating tale of two adolescents stuck in adult bodies who can't seem to grow up long enough to have a single adult thought, much less any semblance of adult communication. Do you want spoilers? Oh, I'll give you spoilers. So these morons can't figure out they'd make a great couple, get drunk, have sex, immediately regret it, and it destroys their friendship. Jack, who's a huge douchebag, pulls away from Samantha to the point where he moves out of their apartment and starts dating other people. When Samantha discovers she's pregnant with Jack's baby, she decides not to tell him. Then when he finds out and insists he's going to be there for his child, she's all, "nuh uh, this is my baby, you don't have any say in any of this."I'm sorry, what? Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a feminist. However, part of being a feminist is realizing and accepting the fact that men and women are equal. This means that children created together come under the perview of both parents. She was a complete bitch about the child they created together, yet let Jack walk all over her in every other way. It made zero sense and I wanted to slap the shit out of both of them. Not a fun read, not even an intriguing read, just an annoying read.
