She's Got It Bad, Sarah Mayberry (B-) - This was my first Mayberry book and one that I've wanted to read given the positive reviews of it. I had some mixed feelings and despite my sense of Mayberry as a potentially strong writer, the gender politics here are troubling. The heroine, Zoe, becomes self-destructive as a teen when the hero, Liam (age 17) leaves her rather than risk tarnishing her with his bad boy reputation and dangerous "nature". She subsequently makes some bad decisions as a result of their breakup which leads to a downward spiral of promiscuity and partying. All in all I could understand the trauma of young love lost but questioned the reality of someone's life nearly destroyed as a result of a teenage breakup. Anyway, having accepted that somewhat implausible plot, I quickly found myself questioning the hero's motives as the story jumps ahead 12 years and Liam discovers Zoe living nearby working as a tattoo artist and singing as a thrash club performer. This all sounded interesting until I realized that Zoe apparently needs to be saved from her life of sin. Liam on the other hand is a custom bike shop owner but that is apparently much more respectable. Liam is rich and Zoe isn't, which seemed to translate into moral superiority for him. Zoe is brave and plucky though and uses her sexuality to maintain some sort of equity in their relationship, but that too struck a nerve and made me wish that female sexual liberation not be equated with power over a man. I have to say too that I was a little troubled by Liam's actions after he interferes in Zoe's life and gives her a job. While proclaiming repeatedly that he's her friend and just needs to help her, he continues to have sex with her (over and over), all while maintaining that he can't offer her a future and doesn't "have what she needs." I wanted to like this book more; it is sweet and touching at times. I'm willing to read another book by Mayberry but in the end felt this one has some troubling implications for women and ones that took me too much out of my enjoyment zone.
