I found this book extremely boring!!!

I did not love it what so ever, I didn’t feel hooked on the first chapter and I felt as though it was a chore to finish this book.

I really wanted to love it but I just didn’t

3.5

mysterious medium-paced

I'm thinking this was 3.5 ⭐️'s that I will round up to 4. This was a little cookie cutter in terms of some of the overall tropes (MC with memory loss, domestic love triangle) but the way the book was written--hopping between characters' story lines--kept things interesting. And of course, the ENDING! Yeah, it was one of those books where the author puts one (two, really) final nail in the coffin before you get to that last page...and it was so devilishly delightful! That right there justifies rounding up!

1.0

The characters were flat and unlikeable. This book was all tell, no show. (“And then this happened, then this happened” “he felt this way, she felt that way”). Nothing was surprising or thrilling, and the plot was boring and predictable.
