I agree. The science fiction aspect became buried, and the original plot idea got lost as wellManali_DC wrote: ↑03 Dec 2017, 11:03 Not all the relationships or explicit scenes in the book were necessary or relevant. But even the one relationship that was important- the one with Marty was not handled well. The scenes were not written well-- there was a lack of emotion somehow. I think the scenes were an unnecessary distraction from the main plot.

I agree. The inclusion of the first scene was okay. After that it was just too much, and I found myself rolling my eyes at yet another unnecessary scene.ButterscotchCherrie wrote: ↑05 Dec 2017, 05:52 I felt that Jennifer's initial encounter with Marty fit, and the erotic prose wasn't so bad (7 out of 10). However, I felt that the scenes got more and more gratuitous as the book went on. Jennifer's attraction towards Alice suddenly appeared out of nowhere! Whether the scenes were necessary or not depends on what genre the book is supposed to be - if it's meant to be erotica, fair enough. I wasn't that into them and thought "not again" with increasing frequency.

These type of scenes can become redundant if overdone-especially when it doesn't add to the plot. Erotica can make a story more exciting, however if not done tastefully or interjected into the story in the right manner it can come off looking tacky.Yolimari wrote: ↑02 Nov 2017, 16:45 I think the point of the explicit scenes was to develop the theme of polyamory relationships, which oddly enough was mostly discussed in the second half of the book. However, I did think the author over did it. My conclusion was that the book discussed several scientific concepts, and as a result, the author included the over the top erotic part to make the story exciting.
