> 24 hourHonestly, this book is poorly written and farcical. Coming from someone whom identifies as a feminist this book is so far off it isnt even funny.

> 24 hourThe idea that Alicia is any kind of actual, modern feminist is a joke. Stephanie Bond does a pretty good job at painting her as a mockery of a stereotypical feminist: angry, bitter, deceitful and of course, wrong. But to highlight the overall theme of this book, heres a bit of dialogue that follows our leading couples first hook-up: [Alicia] lifted her chin. Maybe I just think a relationship should be more balanced, that the man shouldnt be calling all the shots. [Marcus] tucked his shirt into his pants. There are probably a few guys out there who would agree with you...but I wouldnt call them men. Um, seriously? Yes, its so wrong of the evil, witchy feminist to want balance in a relationship. And of course a Real Man(tm) would never want to be with a woman unless he can call all the shots. Not only does Marcus never explain or apologize for this comment, but the next day Alicia spends considerable time wondering if SHE should apologize because Marcus is just old-fashioned. Yes, Alicia was wrong to come to the town under false pretenses, and wrong to judge the citizens before she understood what they were doing to rebuild. But she wasnt wrong about the patriarchal culture of the town. I expected there to be an explanation for why the men and women were forced to live separately and keep curfew. I thought we would learn why every woman there seemed completely incapable of asking a man out or asking a man to marry her once they had a commitment. But...nothing. The second I found out that the man I was involved with didnt believe I deserved an equal voice in our relationship, I would run screaming and never look back. And I dont even identify as a militant feminist. Add in the cloying, sickly-sweet ending (where the misguided woman gets everything man-splained to her), and this book was just terrible. The fact that a woman wrote this AND claimed it was about feminism makes me sad to be a romance fan. And determined to never purchase anything by Stephanie Bond.

> 24 hourIts hard to like a book when the main female character is so blatantly bitter about relationships. Even though she jumps into bed with the male lead, it doesnt ring true. Betrayal and mistrust make this book one to skip
