Sexpiry

Sexpiry is a stand-alone story, the third of a collection. I haven't read the previous books, so I can't compare them.
Now, I loved this book. It's funny, it shows romance, sex, friendship, all mixed up.
I enjoyed that Hari was the one having trouble with feelings, and Cam was the one ready to say I love you and wait for her.
Hari doesn't see the world like most people do. Relations and conversations are tough for her, and she has to rely on research to be able to talk to other people.
Cam is just a regular guy who wants to get to know her. He knows Hari is different, but he loves her because of that (not in spite of that!).
I will certainly look for more books by Tori Turnbull.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC.

This book started out a little slow and I debated finishing it, but I am glad I did. I ended up loving the characters and falling a little bit in love with Cam. Laugh out loud in parts. I would definitely recommending sticking this one out. I did feel like the characters may have been introduced in other books, but I this was still enjoyable as a stand alone.

While this book is amusingly written and well shows the folly of believing in articles written in the popular press and magazines, I have a major beef with it. It is following a trend which shows female computing/mathematical whizz kids to be on the spectrum. To be lacking in the ability to communicate successfully with other people, and to have difficulty with emotions. I realise that this was always the usual portrayal of male computer/mathematical males but why? Music and maths for instance, are the 2 parts of the same ability? And why link what they can achieve intellectually with their human communicational abilities? It is too easy to use this for a story. Which means that despite my enjoyment and the humorous prose (btw the jokes were unnecessary) I am downgrading the book to a 3 star.

Loved this book!

Harriet is an interesting character. All her life she has been different, and now her greatest worry is her sexpiry date. Will she give Cam a chance when he would rather get to know her first

I have already bought the other books in this series to catch up on!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for a honest review.

Gosh, this book was hilarious I just loved Hari she was “special” but so awesomely authentic that even when she made me cringe in her obsessiveness she made me laugh. Cam was perfect for her, and while I would have loved his POV, it was quite obvious that he was falling in love with Hari. Every so often I come across a book where a character stands out for me and this happened in Sexpiry. I was so sad when it ended but happy for these two character's.

In short, what a hoot. I loved this book. I read it in a day. I could not put it down past midnight. That's how much I barracked for both Hari and Cam. I wanted to know...
Hari is amazingly weird, quirky IT-goddess. She is super-smart, rich, talented and all there, even though sometimes she is way out there. Hari was too busy doing what she know and loves best to form any relationships and found herself uncoupled up when all her girlfriends have coupled up and snuggled up.
An accident at the supermarket makes Hari re-assess her love life or lack of thereof.
What she does next and how she does it is hilarious but justifiable.
There is a happy end. There is love and there is fulfillment. The way there is very original and unexpected. Sometimes I wanted to smack Hari over the head. Sometimes I truly identified with her.
A very light, bright, lovely and easy read.
A must for tired brain..

3.5 stars.

I got this off of netgalley. It was enjoyable and the characters were entertaining. I liked the representation for Harriet but I wish the author had come out and said she had some form of autism. The love interest complimented her well. The sexpiry plot drug out quite a bit and the book could have been shorter. Overall a solid book.

This was laugh out loud funny! It was light and fun while it covered a pretty amusing situation. The characters were easy to relate to and more importantly they were very likable. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.
