I LOVE challenge reads that make me happy that I finished. I have had this book on MT TBR probably for a year, but I always looked past it. Not because it didn’t sound cute, but something just sparked my interest more. After finishing The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, I felt like I needed something a little more fun and Confessions of a Lingerie Addict definitely fit my bill.
New Years Day, Brenda Scott wakes up with MR HOTTIE in her bed, but no recollection of how he got there. When he wakes up he looks at her and bolts out the door. Since being dumped by MR RICH and PERFECT, Larry Bryant, Brenda decides she is now sexy at least under her clothes when she walks into a ultra expensive lingerie store and decides to stock her wardrobe. She feels that the lingerie gives her a secret strength and when MR HOTTIE runs her over, she feels like it’s too good to be true. But will he still like her when he finds out that the sexy lingerie is not really who she is?
I laughed at Brenda’s insecurities because the author nailed them to a “T”. There is just something women find mysteriously sexy about beautiful lingerie, we save those special pieces for those special nights. The fact that Brenda used the lingerie as a way to become bold endeared her to me as a reader and as a woman. There is always that one way your hair looks, or that one pair of pants, or those one pair of 9 inch heels that makes you feel like you can conquer the world even if it’s only in your head.
I still smiling thinking about this book because it truly made me feel happy to be a girl and to know that I am not alone in my quirkiness.
