Review: Sweatpants Season by Danielle Allen

 Kumiko Lei     5 Stars, Danielle Allen, Review, Sweatpants Season     No comments   







He has a big... smile.
It was the first thing I noticed that day until he stood. His grey sweatpants hung off his hips and I didn’t want to look. I really didn’t.
I’m a feminist.
I don’t believe in objectifying men. I don’t catcall men. I don’t ogle the bodies of men. I don’t view men as objects of my affection rather than complex people with feelings, wants, and needs of their own. I don’t treat men the way society often treats women.
I treat men the way I want to be treated as a woman—with respect!
So, when Carlos ran into me while I was reviewing my interview questions in the park, it surprised me to see my photography classmate out of context. I was also surprised to see as much of him as I did.
It wasn’t just that it caught my eye. It was the fact that it held my attention.
It wasn’t just that it was large. It was the fact that it was visibly large.
It wasn’t just that it was Carlos Richmond. It was the fact that I am Akila Bishara.
And I am not seduced by anything other than intelligent conversation, witty rapport, and meaningful actions.
I am not seduced by a dick print.
I am not.
Seriously, I’m not.



It's Sweatpants Season ya'll!

And no one loves a good dick print more than I do. But don't be fooled, this isn't a picture book full of dick prints, even if that does sound like a great idea. *hint, hint*

Danielle has added so many elements into this story. Not only do you have the great love story, you also have a thought provoking message interwoven throughout.

Emotionally this book had me all over the place. I was contemplative one minute, laughing the next and then ready to fight someone right after that.

Between the self-reflection, Akila & Carlos, and the dick prints, it got me.

Sweatpants Season is a steamy slow burn romance with an expertly woven in social commentary that unexpectedly evokes a wide range of emotions.

Definitely a must read!
