Book Review: Problems

by Brea Alepoú & Skyler Snow

Finnian

Jack O’ Brien is off limits. To me, to Ronan, to Cian. None of us should want the boy with big bright eyes and a sassy tongue that we’re forced to protect.

Too bad we do.

Ronan denies it. Cian taunts him. I try to ignore his existence. Deep down I know that he needs a firm hand on his soft ass. But why do I want to be the one to give it to him?

He’s the boss's son, forbidden damn fruit, but everytime I see Jack I want to take what’s mine. Turns out so do Cian and Ronan. We’ll do whatever it takes to protect our boy. Even if we have to slaughter everyone who gets in our way.

Jack belongs to us.

Why do I do This to Myself?

I will say, this book is not for me and that is why I gave it such a low rating. Objectively speaking, the writing was acceptable and each character had distinct personality traits so it was easy to get used to these characters. Unfortunately, that is all. Everything else? I kinda dislike.

Problems has a lot of kinks I personally do not like or enjoy reading about. This book mainly circles around daddy kink and I have absolutely no issue with it, I just never thought calling my sexual partner "daddy" was hot and so I couldn't enjoy it. It also features a polyamorous relationship and I really don't mind poly relationships at all. What I do not appreciate is when I'm reading about everyone in the relationship being in love/attracted to that same one person. I like a poly relationship where all parties love each other, equal or not it doesn't matter.

Other than the relationship dynamics, there really was nothing else to read about. The plot was severely lacking, no one can convince me they enjoyed reading Problems for the storyline because let's be real here, if you enjoyed this book, it's most likely due to the smut or the tension leading up to the smut. And even with four main characters, nobody was good enough to forgo the lack of a storyline. Jack's so average, I don't understand what's so lovable about that boy. The only one I can justify for "falling in love" with Jack was Ronan, the other two? Yeah, subplots were created without including it in the book. Ronan's probably the most interesting "daddy" because for someone with his job, this man was a cinnamon roll. And like earlier on, a backstory was created without adding it into the book. Finnian's a very standard "daddy" if you know what I mean and other than his sexual tension with Cian, dude was very boring. Last but not least, Cian. This man was so unhinged. I really don't like him, Problems could have gone on without Cian. It's like the authors wanted a pinch of craziness in the book so they created Cian and gave him too much craziness.

I know I said the daddy kink is not for me but then, I also believe this book could have had so much more potential if efforts were being placed in given it more depth. I can see myself enjoying Problems if there was a better storyline in the first place.

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1.5/5)

I just watched Reacher on Netflix and realized I want to be the Jack Reacher if monsters. Like the Winchesters but a fucking unit.

read the original books too same as American assassin anyway leave you with a Dylan O’ Brien photo

I feel you, I'm in a perpetual state of indecisiveness between "I want to bang the buff guy" and "I want to be the buff guy".

[castlebyersafterdark]

But also genuinely yes there are people literally in real life who cannot find rhythm like this and something as seemingly basic as a hip roll is way too advanced for them haha the honest truth.

how is this even possible and what on earth do they do instead lmaooooooo and more importantly how do they find the confidence to even get into bed with someone in the first place

but anyway, yeah, i get what you mean now! maybe cos i can't find dylan o brien attractive after his assholery in the red short film lmao. i think he's too dickhead-looking straight boi for my taste. but love that for you!

and you touched on a worry i have for byler sex scene... how do you portray accurate frottage without it looking like the actors are just in the wrong position for anal? like, i doubt we'd see byler anal. but we could see frotting, but most viewers will just assume it's anal anyway and judge from there.

Ohhhhhh it's possible!! That's the simplest way to be bad at sex - the overconfidence while lacking the finesse. Usually being a dick outside of the bedroom goes hand in hand with terrible technique and doesn't translate to the appendage in namesake 🫢 It's someone just jack-hammering away, concerned with their pleasure only, no rhythm, no variation, too much of a selfish ass that they don't take direction. Too many men, straight AND gay think that all they gotta do is stick it in and go to town and come and that's it. It's not great, it's not interesting. It's BAD SEX!!

I have no idea what you're referencing with Dylan - I am but a shallow creature in this regard who likes to looks but hasn't seen him in too many things. Was he an asshole on a film set or did he play an asshole? Because awwww if he's just playing an asshole, it's just a role!! I say that but I totally understand that - there's some typically otherwise attractive actors I can't get my head around because of a character they played. It happens!!

And I know we've gone rounds and rounds about the mystical, magical, hypothetical Byler sex scene here - I don't think something like this would be a huge worry. While I'm alllllll for anything and everything they'd want to give us 👀 I don't think accuracy of normal gay sex positions is the worry because the scene isn't going to be that explicit. If it exists at all. Implication. I don't know if in this particular television show we would be even able to gauge enough of a position or act they are engaging in. I don't know!! But I'm also of the mind that if they by some fantastic crazy insane miracle are giving us a love scene - to be honest, with how wild that happening would be I can forgive a lotttttttt of what's actually being depicted.

(Also I would trust Finn and Noah to coordinate and work together and figure it out on screen 🤭🤭)

'Shucked'! "Shucks Ma'am, It's a Helluva Show!"

'Shucked' is a musical fable/farce to see for its side-splitting humor and deeper messages current for us today.
