Stunningly outdated. Women are essentially cute but petulant children that must be brought to heel by a masterful man? Most of the story is taken up by fawning descriptions of the make lead. Not much romance, honestly, and the characters are all two dimensional caricatures. Disappointing. Also, the male narrator’s attempt at women’s voices was very cringeworthy and irritating.
