I enjoyed several things about Not Safe For Work. Tuli did a great job representing being a woman and a marginalized group in a traditionally white-dominated male field. I appreciated that the author talked about the sacrifices and pressure to perform and how Tris felt constantly overlooked because of her identity. I thought the sexism she faced in the workplace was believable and felt like something I am sure happens to women daily. Additionally, I did appreciate the slow burn in this book. It takes careful crafting not to have the characters jump each other as soon as they’re alone, especially with forced proximity, and this worked well for me. I enjoyed the Indian (Southeast Asian) rep. The author did a good job of displaying both macro and microaggressions. I also appreciated that the MMC, Rafe never commented specifically on her skin tone. Instead, he repeatedly said she was beautiful, attractive, etc., and he was crazy for a dress/ skirt. The spice when we got there was fun, and I am always a fan of stating what you want in the bedroom and a man who wants to please. I prefer it when narrations are a breather during certain parts, but I felt the narration handled it well overall. Where this book didn’t work for me was staying in the main female character’s head the entire time. For example, I thought the emphasis on her being single for a year was a bit silly, and I don’t believe that that should be seen as a character flaw. She was self-shaming for something that felt normal to me, and her friends encouraged her that it was “bad” not to have sex for a year. No thanks. Also, I need to state that alcohol should not be used as a treatment for headaches. And certain forms of hormonal birth control cannot be used in those with migraines. I wish this had been addressed better. Unfortunately, I think the narration by Soneela Nankani made me more irritated at the main female character. Did she feel a bit whiny, maybe? I could not put my finger on the exact thing that was bothering me, as the performance was well done, and I appreciated the touches of emotion. The anger especially was appropriate, and I enjoyed that the narrator explored those emotions. I could feel the effort the narrator put into the story. I would listen to another book narrated by the narrator, perhaps not the same author. I think that this book would appeal to those who love true enemies to lovers and I did enjoy the Hawaii setting. Unfortunately, it just didn’t click for me.
