Book Review: The Cows by Dawn O'Porter


Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.

Strange in places but compelling. I loved Cam, liked Tara and hated Stella. I thought her obsession with having kids was weird, especially the way it started to consume her entire being, it freaked me out a little but her overall story arc was interesting in it's progression.

I was impressed with Tara for doing things her way with her job and raising her kid but I did find the tube thing a bit much but thinking about it that's probably because we hear so little about female sexuality. Also Cam is right when she says that watching these non-consensual videos is contributing to the continued abuse of the victim. I thought that the way she turned things around was brilliant although I did want to know if her boss did ever come out..?

Cam was fab! As a childfree woman myself I completely empathised with her and I'd do the same thing in her situation - one that is thankfully unlikely personally thanks to gayness - I'm just sad that her storyline had to end the way it did but I understand it had to happen for the others to be able to move on.
