Hot Mess: A Dirty Bitches Novel

by K.A. Ware

Hot Mess from K.A. Ware is the first book in the Dirty Bitches series. This story is told entirely from main character Briar’s perspective. Briar’s life is a hot mess! She is literally a walking disaster and it seems whatever could go wrong, does for the twenty-five year old who doesn’t have a clue what she wants from life other then to avoid (at all costs) the abominable mistakes her parents made. Needless to say she is in no way looking for love, let alone a relationship, but that’s exactly what slaps her in the face in the most unexpected way! In the process of finding love, she also finds herself…and makes a lot of hysterical mistakes along the way.

My favorite line in this book was “Is telling someone to ‘suck my dick’ at work considered sexual harassment even though you don’t actually have a dick?” Delivered early on in the book, it set the tone for the brash Briar’s personality which I loved! She constantly reminded me of my no filter best friend growing up who I obviously have a biased opinion of. That said, her way of telling it like it is and her heart of gold – mostly – have you laughing through pranks and one liners at every turn. I also could not put this book down. I mean, it was a fun and fast read, which I finished in about 5 hours…but I didn’t want to sit my kindle down to watch tv or do laundry and even went so far as to order my kids pizza instead of cooking dinner (other then what that obviously says about me as a parent) one should recognize that’s the making of a great book! You will laugh out loud throughout the book and want someone like Reid for your very own. I know I do!!! Buy this book and get lost in K.A.’s Hot Mess!!
