Summary
One woman's secret journal completely changes her marriage in this hilarious and biting memoir -- soon to be a Netflix Original Series。
School psychologists aren't supposed to write books about sex。 Doing so would be considered "unethical" and "a fireable offense。" Lucky for you， ethics was never my strong suit。
Sex/Life: 44 Chapters About 4 Men is a laugh-out-loud funny and brutally honest look at female sexuality， as told through the razor-sharp lens of domesticated bad girl BB Easton。 No one and nothing is off limits as BB revisits the ex-boyfriends -- a sadistic tattoo artist， a punk rock parolee， and a heavy metal bass player -- that led her to finally find true love with a straight-laced， drop-dead-gorgeous 。 。 。 accountant。
After settling down and starting a family with her perfectly vanilla "husbot，" Ken， BB finds herself longing for the reckless passion she had in her youth。 She begins to write about these escapades in a secret journal， just for fun， but when Ken starts to act out the words on the pages， BB realizes that she might have stumbled upon the holy grail of behavior modification techniques。
The psychological dance that ensues is nothing short of hilarious as BB wields her journal like a blowtorch， trying to light a fire under her cold， distant partner。 Sometimes it works， sometimes it doesn't， but in the end， BB learns that the man she was trying so hard to change was perfect for her all along。

3。5 stars。 I never really intended to read the book， but there’s a show out now inspired by this。 The narrator is dramatic and entertaining。 Her husband is the opposite。 She loves him wildly and passionately and feels he is not reciprocating in a way that screams it back in volumes to her。 So she journals about her exes and he stealthily reads it and she spices it up in the writing， which seems to motivate him to do the same for her in real life and she’s loving the results。 Yes， she’s funny and 3。5 stars。 I never really intended to read the book， but there’s a show out now inspired by this。 The narrator is dramatic and entertaining。 Her husband is the opposite。 She loves him wildly and passionately and feels he is not reciprocating in a way that screams it back in volumes to her。 So she journals about her exes and he stealthily reads it and she spices it up in the writing， which seems to motivate him to do the same for her in real life and she’s loving the results。 Yes， she’s funny and full of hyperboles。 But her exes are all low caliber in comparison to her husband so there really is no comparison and they are not that enjoyable to read about。 It’s really her husband who is the fascinating one and how she does mental cartwheels trying to figure him out and plant seeds to get him to do her bidding。 They can’t read each other’s minds， that’s been proven， so in her convoluted way， she gets to fantasize and to set goals， only to realize that what she really wants is right there in sexy form with some added motivation， but without all the excess fanfare。 It is simply fun to embellish， but she’s content and she can certainly write in a way to spin a tale of grandeur。 。。。more

DNF @ 53%。I fully understood the sort of edgy humor tone that this author was trying to aim for， but for me it really didn't work， especially when it came to jokes that were made about Asperger's and other subjects that did not ring as very funny at all and veered more towards being completely offensive。 I attempted to read this in anticipation of the upcoming Netflix series （which is loosely based on Easton's memoir）， but I think I'll just be sticking to the show instead。I voluntarily read and DNF @ 53%。I fully understood the sort of edgy humor tone that this author was trying to aim for， but for me it really didn't work， especially when it came to jokes that were made about Asperger's and other subjects that did not ring as very funny at all and veered more towards being completely offensive。 I attempted to read this in anticipation of the upcoming Netflix series （which is loosely based on Easton's memoir）， but I think I'll just be sticking to the show instead。I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

BB is tired of having bland sex with her husband， so， instead of insulting him by having this conversation with him， she takes up writing a journal。 When it seems like Ken might be reading said journal， BB has an idea: write explicit stories about her old sexcapades。 The catch？ These stories will mostly be made up and will be geared toward exactly what she wants her husband to do。 Will it work？ Well， the fun is in the trying。"I would have been liquefied on impact had I not been blessed with a gu BB is tired of having bland sex with her husband， so， instead of insulting him by having this conversation with him， she takes up writing a journal。 When it seems like Ken might be reading said journal， BB has an idea: write explicit stories about her old sexcapades。 The catch？ These stories will mostly be made up and will be geared toward exactly what she wants her husband to do。 Will it work？ Well， the fun is in the trying。"I would have been liquefied on impact had I not been blessed with a guardian angel who wasn't above tripping a bitch， not even a bitch named Angel。"This was a case of exactly the right book at the right time。 I needed something to get me out of my own head and， boy， did this ever。 It was a hilarious read。 I literally LOL'd at parts。 I even cackled。 Oh and it was dirty。 Dirty to the point that it was actually uncomfortable to read at times。 So be forewarned （although。。。 do you really need that warning？ I think you know what you're getting into when you pick this up）。 Thank you， BB， for this fun little expose into your sex/life。And the show on Netflix comes out Thursday！ 。。。more

I DNF’ed at 30%。 The premise was good but the uneasiness reading this was too much to take。 I felt so uncomfortable reading about the “skinhead” because it literally sounded like there was going to be rape involved。 The scared ness of the main character in regards to this guy felt so wrong。 Then we get to the infamous bad boy of the town which is repeatedly described as having a low iq and graced with the nickname ding-dong。 It was one thing to stomach those references， but when he’s regarded as I DNF’ed at 30%。 The premise was good but the uneasiness reading this was too much to take。 I felt so uncomfortable reading about the “skinhead” because it literally sounded like there was going to be rape involved。 The scared ness of the main character in regards to this guy felt so wrong。 Then we get to the infamous bad boy of the town which is repeatedly described as having a low iq and graced with the nickname ding-dong。 It was one thing to stomach those references， but when he’s regarded as suffering from mental retardation that was my final straw。 I’m not going to continue reading something that is meant to be in humor but makes me feel this sickened。 Not sure if I’m the only one who feels this way， but in this day and age， it’s just not acceptable。 。。。more

SEX/LIFE: 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN is an absolutely entertaining memoir about romance and relationships。 The author is a psychologist in a stable but sometimes boring marriage。 When she starts her diary to record her reflections about her past relationships， she thinks back on the good and bad that led her to where she is。 When she finds her husband snooping on her diary， she realizes the way to spice things up is with what she is writing。This was quite the ride， and I am definitely excited about SEX/LIFE: 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN is an absolutely entertaining memoir about romance and relationships。 The author is a psychologist in a stable but sometimes boring marriage。 When she starts her diary to record her reflections about her past relationships， she thinks back on the good and bad that led her to where she is。 When she finds her husband snooping on her diary， she realizes the way to spice things up is with what she is writing。This was quite the ride， and I am definitely excited about the Netflix series。 The writing is really fabulous， and I loved the diary format that felt like a spicier Bridget Jones。 The journey was very worth it and chronicles a life of mistakes and blessings in love。 There are some laugh-out-loud moments and some sweet moments， and the whole book is approached with light-heartedness。The reflections are definitely colored by her later experiences and current life， which was an interesting way for all of us to think about past relationships with the color of history。 The present also includes emails， which was intriguing。 I did find the manipulation of her spouse to be a little morally gray， but I'm hoping it was played up for the book。 The trip through her life was certainly entertaining。With a lot of humor and heart， this book is a highly devourable read of romantic reflections。 Please note that I received an ARC from the publisher。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

BB ist verheiratet。 Eigentlich glücklich verheiratet。 Ihr Mann ist erfolgreich im Job， gutaussehend， trinkt nicht， raucht nicht， hat keine Tattoos， mäht den Rasen， kümmert sich um die Familie （finanziell und auch jeder anderen Hinsicht） und ist sowohl bodenständig als auch anständig。 Aber er ist auch ein Langweiler （vor allem im Bett）。 Und nach BB's Vergangenheit eine Spur zu langweilig für ihren Geschmack。 Was sie anfangs nicht störte， weil er genau das Gegenteil zu den Männern war， mit denen s BB ist verheiratet。 Eigentlich glücklich verheiratet。 Ihr Mann ist erfolgreich im Job， gutaussehend， trinkt nicht， raucht nicht， hat keine Tattoos， mäht den Rasen， kümmert sich um die Familie （finanziell und auch jeder anderen Hinsicht） und ist sowohl bodenständig als auch anständig。 Aber er ist auch ein Langweiler （vor allem im Bett）。 Und nach BB's Vergangenheit eine Spur zu langweilig für ihren Geschmack。 Was sie anfangs nicht störte， weil er genau das Gegenteil zu den Männern war， mit denen sie sich bisher eingelassen hatte。 Doch seine Gleichgültigkeit ihr gegenüber verletzt sie， denn sie liebt Ken über alles。 Also braucht sie einen Plan， um auf sich aufmerksam zu machen， und der nimmt in Form eines Tagebuchs， das Ken niemals lesen darf 😉， Gestalt an。 BB's Geschichte ist wirklich lustig und die Idee ist echt gut - die des Buches und die der Hauptprotagonistin。 BB hat ihren Mann beim heimlichen Lesen ihres Tagebuchs ertappt， es ihm aber nicht auf die Nase gebunden。 Und nun hofft sie， anhand genau dieses Tagebuches， in das sie， mehr oder weniger， erfundene Geschichten über ihre ehemaligen Liebhaber schreibt， dass Ken sein Verhalten ändert。 Komplimente， einen süßen Kosenamen， besseren Sex und vielleicht ein Tattoo auf seiner Haut mir ihren Initialen ist eigentlich alles， was sie sich wünscht。 Sie lässt ihrer Fantasie freien Lauf und macht aus den katastrophalen Männern ihrer Vergangenheit die sexiesten， besten Liebhaber der Welt。 Alles in der Hoffnung， dass der Langweiler， den sie so sehr liebt， sich ein kleines bisschen ändert。BB Easton hat hier eine wirklich gute und witzige Story aufs Papier gezaubert。 Für diese Geschichte muss man allerdings offen sein， man darf sie nicht zu ernst nehmen und man darf sich an den expliziten Sexszenen， die ziemlich häufig vorkommen， nicht stören。 Man sollte sich auch nicht ständig die Frage stellen: Warum hat sie diesen Mann geheiratet， wenn sie ihn so unbedingt ändern will？ Die Geschichte macht einfach nur Spaß und in manchen Situationen findet man sich selbst wieder。 Die Autorin lässt alle Charaktere real wirken， auch wenn manchmal ein wenig überzogen wird。 BB und Ken entwickeln sich gemeinsam in die richtige Richtung und es werden hier ja nicht nur seine Unzulänglichkeiten ange- und besprochen， sondern eigentlich ja auch die der weiblichen Hauptprotagonistin。 Man fiebert mit und hofft， dass alle am Ende ihr Happy End bekommen。 Ich kannte bereits das englische Original und möchte der Übersetzerin Angela Koonen ein wirklich großes Lob aussprechen。 Sie hat es geschafft， die Stimmung in jeder einzelnen Szene so rüber zu bringen， wie sie auch im Original transportiert wird。 Und das ist nicht immer der Fall。 BB Easton ist eine quirlige， kleine Elfe （ihr auf diversen Social Media Kanälen zu folgen ist kein Fehler）， sie ist wirklich bezaubernd und ich glaube ihr jedes Wort 😉。 Zum Abschluss möchte ich noch sagen， dass ich schon sehr gespannt auf die Netflix Verfilmung bin， die ja auch heute erscheint。Fazit: Mir hat's richtig Spaß gemacht， die Geschichte ist neu， mal was anderes und ich werde mir jetzt gleich den Trailer zur Serie ansehen。 。。。more

This book is HYSTERICAL！！！！ When a woman discovers her husband has been reading her journal， she starts writing fictional entries about past boyfriends in order to manipulate him to do a list of things she has always wanted from him。 It’s a “smut” book with a wicked sense of humor。 Laugh out loud funny with a lot of sex！
