Curiosity killed the reader
Chloe Swanson ... Chloe, Chloee, Chloeee,Chloooooeeeee. This is a First Person POV, and I wouldn't want to spend another 120 pages in Chloe's head. I don't know how old she is `supposed' to be, but I think sixteen would be an accurate guess. I don't care how many big words she knows. Her thoughts, and actions were a bewilderment. I thought this was a parody, the prose beyond purple into a language that was at times, beyond any color wheel. Patrick Collins ... Who? Mr. Collins that's who. I don't really know much about him. He's her "boss", and not a very good one. He's 'supposed' to be 38 years old. Not possible. It's also not possible for him to own his own company, and tie his shoes. There were some seriously weird word usage: "During the initial interview we exchanged handshakes and I felt a salacious propulsive energy flood my body like a deluge." --Chloe Oookay. 7% in. "Wait. Would you, would you- um- show me by trying it on?" --Mr. Collins (her boss. Instructing her to try on a dress bought for his niece) Chloe then proceeded to change in his filing room, came out, pushed her hair aside for him to zipper her up, and he powdered his breath, or his breath powdered on her back or her ear. Who cares. She knew this was taboo, but her sentient pleasure was buzzing through her body. (her thoughts not mine) Mr. Collins decides that Chloe the secretary needs to be promoted to help campaign for some Baroness, who owns billions of dollars in real estate. He is currently only working on her charities and he wants the rest of her business. She's: gorgeous, rich, titled, in her 40's , an old hag, and of course the villain. She's over the top ridiculous, even too much for a cartoon character. The Baroness and Chloe are having a "whose "baseball bat" is bigger" ... in this case, I guess that would be "whose musky, wet, "pool" is dripping more" during their meeting, since Mr. Collins is willing to do anything to get her business, he throws Chloe under the bus and sends her out to fetch the Baroness some coffee. The tantrums begin. Mind you, Patrick and Chloe only shared a kiss and she's full out territorial, on the side of protection order. While she's out, the Baroness and Mr. Collins decide to talk over dinner. When Chloe gets back, he asks her to make the reservations. He leaves his iPhone on his desk and Chloe decides she's going to bring it to him at the restaurant. She gives him his phone, he proceeds to get her a chair, orders her some drinks, she gets drunk, goes into the bathroom stall, starts thinking about the kiss and proceeds to masturbate. The Baroness comes into the bathroom and catches her. Chloe knows she's busted, comes out, goes to the mirror to fix her face, the Baroness physically assaults her AND digitally rapes her. You read that right. The End. But not. Miss five dollar vocabulary doesn't do a thing about it. Adjusts her skirt, gets a lift home by Patrick, and they end up screwing in her apartment. After being violated. I also want to mention there was NO usage of condoms, no talk about birth control, STD's, or anything remotely responsible. I just want to leave this review with a few quotes: "I needed Elyse to solace me." --Chloe " I leaned on the countertop below the mirror with saline seeping into the corners of my mouth. I wiped away my tears with the back of my hand..." --Chloee " If I was going to be a true New Yorker, I had better learn not to take things so damn personally. I was such a Dorothy." --Choleee "I ran my hands up his thigh as he stood before me, his diamond cutter bulging within his pants." --Chloeeeee "He used one hand to spread me apart while palpating the viscosity of my..." --Chloeeeeeeeeeeeee "I arched and moaned, voraciously wanting more, his tactile swirling and rubbing, coaxing me into a pyretic frenzy of desire. Skillfully he orchestrated my orgasm." --Get REAL "Like a piston in a crank shaft, he pumped me hard ..." --Save me
