Excellent review, as always. My first thought before I'd even started reading, and had only seen the cover was "where's 'too smart'?", so I'm with you there; that was a major miss in a book meant to reflect women breaking out of the box.
Some of these though... I think I'd be considered a discredit to my gender. I'm a big fan of modesty in all things, and IN ALL GENDERS. I firmly believe what's good for the gander is good for the goose, so when I think "Too gross" or "Too loud" or "Too naked", I'm just as likely to think it about a man as I am about a woman. In fact I thought "Too naked" just yesterday, at the pool, when I saw an older gentleman of generous proportions strip down to a speedo. Positive body image or not, I don't need to see that sort of anatomical definition at 7am. On ANY BODY. :p (No body, not even Chris Hemsworth's, is one I want to see wearing a speedo; just my personal preference. Which I generally keep to myself, where it should be kept.)
