Meredith

The Fairer Sex Collection, Book 2

By: Michelle Miller

Narrated by: Samara Naeymi

A frustrated lawyer finds release where she least expects it - and where she needs it most - in this exhilarating, sexy romp through the finest gluten-free indulgences in a New York City grocery store.

After another long workday, the only thing Meredith wants is a nice big bowl of paleo maple-pecan coconola. But the hour-long checkout line at 7:00 p.m. at an all-organic supermarket stands between her and satisfaction, and the yupster mob is working her last nerve. Then, out of nowhere, a spontaneous flirtation with a stranger shows her there’s a lot more than coconola waiting for her in the bulk-food aisle.

Meredith is part of The Fairer Sex, a collection of sexy, satirical, and sometimes harrowing short stories that explore the question: “What do women want?” The answer is different for every woman, but each can be read or listened to in a single sitting.

I Should Shop at Whole Foods!

I enjoyed this audible, from start to finish. Meredith came to life, with every word.

Started Strong, Spiraled into Whole Foods Erotica

Well, I listened to all the audiobooks in the Fairer Sex collection. For the most part, they were entertaining mindless stories I was able to enjoy to while doing various household chores. Most of them are Rauchy Romance stories, this definitely one of them. It started off good, I was enjoying it....until it turned into a Whole Foods Erotica narrative. It was just so unbelievable that for me made it go downhill. Not my favorite read in the collection. Listened for free through prime reads, so cant complain about the price, lol. The narrator definitely gets 5/5 stars, she was great!

Was ok.

I enjoyed the story and the speaker does an awesome job. It was a little far fetched with the sex at the end. And ending it with the orgasm, would think it could go just a little further, like they leave the store together without paying for anything. LOL

Nice And Steamy

This is a cute little short story. Maybe even considered a pre-writing for a potential novel. It might even be considered a small little piece of smut fiction. Either one of these would be accurate. I didn't hate it. I just don't really consider it to be something I'd normally reach for. It does have great potential though.

interesting

lol not what I'd imagine to happen in a grocery store aisle, but hey, to each his/her own!

Strange, Sexy Short

This was a short story about a neurotic woman agonizing about her grocery choices and the wait in a Whole Foods store. She winds up with the perfect solution for her craving by having sex in one of the aisles.

You know this is a book, because they would be arrested in real life. Good thing this is a short story on Kindle Unlimited. Meredith comes off as very bright and I can't see why Hugh would like her. The narration was outstanding on the audiobook.

Best lunch listen!!!!

I dont know which desire is more, to eat Paleo Maple Pecan Cocanola or to have sex!!!!! Fun story and the reading was superb!!!!

Senseless

This is the worse audiobook I've ever listened.
it literally made no sense.
unbelievable
pointless
confusing.

2 stars

Overall, the collection of short stories in The Fairer Sex by Michelle Miller are either amazing or not worth the time. I like that the cover has each woman's name in a different font. As for reading a novel by Michelle, I think I'd pass as she has some toxic blind spots that I don't want to endure.

Candace: A strong start to the series. If I wasn't married and dating, I'd create my own list. 5 stars

Meredith: I was initially laughing, imagining myself in the Whole Foods with Meredith. Then it took a turn that I couldn't decide if it was real or fantasy, which took me out of the story as it was so unrealistic. 2 stars.

Alicia: I hate-listened to this story and enjoyed it. The whole time I kept thinking, "Karma...". The end was really good, I just personally don't think it's fair, for a multitude of reasons. 4 stars.

Heidi: The beginning is hilarious. However, I found it boring (this coming from someone with a degree in accounting; different from finance, but not by much.) I did like when Heidi stopped writing her story and it became about her and Paul. 2 stars.

Clara: I really enjoyed this book. Clara's relationship with Michael, Lawrence, the intimacy, the twist...a lot was packed into this story. 5 stars.

Lauren: I was immediately put off by Lauren, describing her growing up in wealth and in the next breath taking about living in a cutting-edge place that was "far enough from Chinatown that [visitors] weren't put off by the stench." So unnecessarily offensive and filled with privilege, making it hard for me to have any sympathy for her.

I was intensely physically triggered with the description of her bulimia episode, which I hated. If you've never had an ED, then it will definitely give readers/listeners insight as to what it's like. However, I lived it and didn't need to live it again in such detail. 1 star.

Eleanor: this was as good as Clara. I loved how Eleanor dealt with her husband, except for the "we just did" line. 5 stars.

Keridee: I didn't see the point of this book and couldn't get into it. I understand she's pretty, but having other characters in the book who are only described as fat and their occupation is ridiculous. 1 star.

Samara Naeymi was a good narrator, embodying each woman and her story.

What did I just listen to?

Audio borrowed for free via Amazon Prime membership. At 25 minutes long (including intro & credits) this is a very short story.

Meredith is in line at Whole Foods eating maple pecan Coconola (we know this is what she’s eating because it’s mentioned every other sentence). She’s annoyed with all the people around her including a guy who is left-swiping on a dating app. While in line she runs out of snacks and heads back to the bulk foods to get more. Hugh (left-swipe guy) follows her as he’s found her profile on the app and decides to swipe right.

Apparently he’s actually decided to have sex with her in the middle of Whole Foods. Meredith agrees and they go at it in front of shoppers (one who grumbles because they’re blocking pineapple chips or something). Somehow they manage not to get arrested.

The story ends as soon as the orgasm is over so no clue about Meredith or Hugh or anything else.

I can’t imagine spending money on this or ever listening to it again. It’s an intriguing concept (the series, not this specific story) and the narrator was great. However, this felt incomplete and the public sex was OTT for me.
