This is not a review. I repeat. This is NOT a review!!!!!
It’s just me…having just finished a book and I need to take a moment to gush. I’m
sure my review will include coherent sentences and my favorite passages from
the book. This post will not include any of that. Typing words now is difficult
enough as I just want to keysmash! Kmsakjdjifgcfcjdmfkljsidasmdopadieuifysdiomdkxaskdiohfkldsoifysduhfjkd!!!!
Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I have to try to focus for a moment. It’s just that I
was super lucky and received an ARC of Sweet
Filthy Boy yesterday and I’m now trying to not break my laptop by typing
too hard. It’s just that I’m really excited. Do you know why I’m excited? I’ll
tell you why I’m excited.
We all know that Sweet
Filthy Boy is written by Christina Lauren (or C and Lo and I affectionately
refer to them;). They have given us the epicness that is Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful
Stranger, and Beautiful Player (let’s
not forget the novellas that are Beautiful
Bitch, Beautiful Bombshell, and Beautiful Beginning!). But here’s the
thing!!!! Are you ready?!?!?
Okay. When I finished the Beautiful series, I had two initial thoughts. One: Whyyyyyyyyyy is
it over!?!?!? I need more Bennett, Max and Will!!! More! Give me more!!!! Two:
it’s like they were just warming up with Beautiful
Bastard. How is it even possible that every book got better and better?
How!?!?!?
So I may or may not have offered Enn a kidney for an ARC of
Sweet Filthy Boy (read: most
definitely DID). And then it happened. I came home to THIS last
night!

Yay!!!!! I must confess that’s been a long time since I’ve
read an actual “real” book.
I’m a Kindle whore. You have no idea the amount of highlights I amass in a
really great book! So…an actual book…what is one to do with an actual book?
Well, if one is me, apparently one does this:
Yeah…I may have exhausted my stash of post-its but it was
oh-so-worth-it!!!! Like I said…I have only been in possession of Sweet Filthy Boy for a little over 24
hours and I have finished it. I have lost sleep, I haven’t exactly showered or
even left my house and I have consumed a lot of Diet Coke but I have finished
the perfection that is Sweet Filthy Boy.
Did you catch that adjective? P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N. How do they do it? How does
every book get better than the last?
This is HUGE for me because I deemed Will my favorite Beautiful boy!!! Before I got home to
find Sweet Filthy Boy in the mail, I
had just written a post re: wanting a decapitated (ceramic!) baby Jesus to
offer as tribute to C and Lo when I meet them in Chicago in May! I am serious
about my Beautiful boys!!!
So when I opened Sweet
Filthy Boy, I was convinced I wouldn’t love it as much as Beautiful Player. I mean, Will is hard
to beat. For Christ’s sake--He knocked Max (a Brit!) out of my number one Beautiful spot! AND again!!! In what
world do authors keep getting better and better? We all know Stephenie Meyer
dropped the ball in New Moon and;
well, Breaking Dawn makes my head
hurt. Do you see what I’m saying here?!?! It is nearly impossible for authors
to get better with every single book! And yet! C and Lo do it every single
time!!!
Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! So what I’m saying
here is: I looooooooooooooooooooooooove this book! Thank fuck I studied French
for 6 years…that helped:) And another Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Simply because
I am in awe of the talent that is Christina Lauren. I can’t even…I need to
focus and try to string together coherent sentences so I can write a proper
review this book deserves.
You MUST pre-order Sweet
Filthy Boy here:
You will thank me—I promise! Can I still
have Will as my favorite Beautiful boy
and Ansel as my favorite Filthy boy?!?!
I can’t choose!!!! Why are C and Lo so freakishly talented?!?!?! So again, this
is clearly not a review…just me…not bound by 140 Twitter characters telling you
that in no uncertain terms: you MUST pre-order Sweet Filthy Boy. I can’t even….just: Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
