This feels like it probably has a pretty specific reader and it isn’t me. This reminds me in some ways of a more modern updated Bridget Jones - and I think I’ve asked out of that. This was a DNF for me.

As much as I hate being a do-gooder, it makes it hard to get behind a book that breaks all the rules. Glamorizing cheating is a really hard sell for me. Still, I could appreciate the humor, the ruminations on the complexities of marriage (relationships), but overall, still just too many social mores thrown out the window to make me fully get on board.

Wow. Talk about a neurotic main character! This book is kind of all over the place and I was cringing during a lot of it, but ultimately it was a solid read!
Relationships are hard and the main character definitely over thought A LOT! I found a good deal of her musings relatable and just downright hilarious.
Not going to be a book for everyone, but if you are in the mood for some neurosis, give this a go!

"I'm Fucking Amazing" is an unapologetically bold and empowering lit fic that celebrates self-love and resilience with a refreshing honesty. Through witty anecdotes and fearless declarations, the author navigates the highs and lows of life with a raw authenticity that resonates deeply. I had many laughs and a couple of cries. I loved it.

This one was really hard for me. I wanted to like it, but felt like I was reading a 19 year old's diary. The way she acted was exhausting, her selfishness is next level and I wanted to put the damn thing down.

This book is necessary. Thank you for the copy - and for being brave to talk so openly about this common issue. It’s probably me, not you or the book, but there are times that it goes to shocking places - which gave me pause…. Maybe that’s necessary - but it made it harder for me to push through.

Tell me how this is different that "Green Dot"?! That one is for 20 somethings, this one is for 30 somethings. Both women wants their married lovers to leave their wives and choose them. At least this one considers her own physical needs over the man's. Men won't leave their wives; they like to have their little housekeepers, nannies, and cooks. Of course they will keep their side piece hidden.

Maybe mine is the unpopular opinion, but I was so bored. I wanted to scream "get on with it" at times. It could be because of reading very similar storylines with very similar ending in short period of time, but what are we trying to achieve here? Are we telling women to follow their heart and fannies whatever the consequence is? Are telling women to cry after selfish men? Are we telling women to f*ck it?

After a while I was fed up with her talking about sex constantly. I get that it was important for her and it was a criteria that men needed to meet to be in her life. She had to christen every surface and corner to feel good. Fine, your "fanny" is not broken. Also remember that it was never been broken; you were mentally broken under the stress of meeting other people's expectations and being a side piece.

The premise felt like something I would enjoy, as I love reading about women being messy and then figuring their s*** out. I eat it up because there are periods in our lives where we fumble and we don't know what to do with ourselves—where we look back and say, ' God, was I a mess!' and learn and grow. Others experience life so differently and may have figured things out before you have, hence reading about it.

This book fell flat for me. I really wanted to like it, but it felt juvenile and threadbare, and I just couldn't get past that. The book was an assertion of thoughts laid out, which could be fun for others but felt messy. The writing and format of the book just weren't for me, and those didn't lend themselves to me like the story's narrative.

DNF at 53%.

Lol, I can't. I requested this thinking it would be fun and adventurous and different from books I normally gravitate toward. And . . . it definitely was some of those things. I think there is something to be said in the ways this book discusses female sexual liberation, and the attitude the main character takes toward sex. It's very freeing and open, honest and charged. But this book is so sexually explicit in a way that isn't elegant <i>or</i> crude. It just feels like reading an email from a friend who is writing in such a frenzy, they didn't take the time to proofread for spelling or the use of too many exclamation marks. Most of the things I was reading didn't feel like they were leading toward anything. Or at least anything I was invested in hanging around for.

I did appreciate the character growth in the book. It felt realistic as she moved forward a few steps and then stumbled back a couple here and there. But she was also incredibly unreliable, and would introduce major life events that could have been mentioned at multiple points during the story but just . . . weren't. Lol, so unfortunately, this is a DNF. And one I feel quite apathetic about.

Reading this book felt like having a chat with a girl friend. Bold, honest, raw and hilarious! I found myself absolutely losing in in some parts, it was quite funny! I really admired the character growth in this novel. I am going to purchase a copy for my shelf on release day!
Thank you Doubleday and NetGalley for the ARC!

Ah, this one was fun. I am so thankful to Doubleday Books, Anoushka Warden, Netgalley, and PRHAudio for the #free audiobook, physical copy, and digital access before this baby hits shelves on April 30, 2024.

Our FMC loves to please her fanny, and she has a whole laundry list of men she's used to get her hots off with a ranking system and chock-full of notes on their performance and other factors. One day, sex with her boyfriend > fiancé > husband becomes too much to bear, and she begins to see a doctor to get to the bottom of it. It's nothing a few Kegels and pelvic floor exercises can't fix, and then she's back to her regular self, that is, until she finds out her man is cheating on her, and I mean she's cheating as well but holds back that fact.

What transpires next is a series of downward spirals and upward ticks, and our HBIC struggles to navigate her romantic partners and her self-worth. There is a plot at hand here, but this one is mostly full of feminist vibes and I couldn't get enough of our main character's reactions and actions as she comes to know and love herself more than ever before. This sex-positive literary read will have you chuckling and empathizing at the same time.

I tried, I tried but I just found the narrator deeply annoying in a way I didn't expect, She's meant to be in her 30s but conveys as a 20 something and an immature one at that at times. There are flashes of humor and a few scenes made me nod in recognition but ultimately this wore out its welcome. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. Over to others.

loved this romance and all of the lovers that she had and her relationship with the person now. loved how she told her past relationships.

I'm no prude but I was turned off by the vulgar language in this book and the overuse of the word "fanny". The narrator seemed young, like someone in their early to mid 20s instead of their 30s and overall it just wasn't something I could relate to. It felt like reading an extremely juvenile version of a Dolly Alderton book which I unfortunately really struggled to get through. I really wanted to love this one but it really missed the mark.

"I'm F*cking Amazing" feels like chatting with a close friend or peeking into someone's diary. I adore books featuring strong, relatable women who don't have perfect lives and aren't afraid to speak their minds. We follow the narrator through her relationships, the ups, downs, and all the juicy details in between. There's no fairy tale romance, but I enjoyed witnessing her growth through both good and bad decisions. The title alone is fantastic, and I found this book addictively engaging.

Not a fan of this one.

The whole book is glamorizing cheating, it's okay to be with others if the guy isn't an appropriate number on the scale she created. Also, why so much about if her 'fanny' was pleased? Or that 'he touched a wet fanny' like it is just weird.

The slang is odd, weird texting like talking/details (using coz, instead of because..).

This seemed like the FMC should have been like 20 not in her thirties.

Thank you NetGalley for my E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great for fans of Fleabag, The Freedom Clause, and Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up, I’m F*cking Amazing is a boldly written story of a woman not afraid to be real and who unapologetically insists upon living life on her own terms.

After a list-worth of amazing, humps, our narrator enters her thirties and settles down with serious boyfriend number three (aka The One). And then she runs into a problem. Sex hurts. Her once reliable fanny (not what Americans call it) has let her down. It’s broken. From doctors to drugs, she embarks on a journey to bring desire back to her relationship. But maybe desire and long-term love don’t work together. Is romantic love incompatible with sexual satisfaction?

Raw, explicit, and frank, I’m F*cking Amazing feels like a drunken chat with your best girlfriends where you let all your truths out. Though I found the book incredibly funny and well-written, I also found the MC to be immature and unlikeable, which led to its rating of 3 stars instead of 4. I look forward to seeing what else comes from this author. She’s definitely a writer to watch!

Thank you to @netgalley and @doubledaybooks for an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. #ImFckingAmazing #NetGalley.

Entertaining but ultimately not for me. The humor was strong, but the story had a very meandering structure that didn't make me hurry to pick up the book, to flip the page, to get to the next chapter. Still, I think this book will find its niche audience. It's good for fans of Dolly Alderton or Coco Mellors, with a raunchy twist.

Loved this! It is like reading an entry in my diary. We NEED more books like this. Brutally honest and funny women who don't give a f-ck. It's recommended for readers who love Fleabag and I totally agree with that sentiment. I can't wait to read more from the author. 10/10

Tallying her orgasms and rating men throughout her life, she finds herself in her thirties settled down with boyfriend number Three. As things get serious, she begins to struggle with painful sex and vaginal dryness. Trying every remedy possible, she can’t seem to shake the feeling that maybe long-term love is the issue and that it may not be the problem.

This character was very juvenile and selfish, making me initially dislike her. While it was a silly book about a woman’s sexuality, I couldn’t understand the story and the challenges the main character was trying to overcome. It was basically about her lack of excitement in a monogamous relationship, and her need for sexual stimulation.

Overall, it is an entertaining read. It's just not one I would ever think of reading again.
