chimichannika's review
reasons I didn’t finish the book:
- extremely, uncomfortably, unrelatable/unrealistic dialogue between the characters; this either needed another editor, is just a writing style that doesn’t work for me, or both
- Characters who are more of an archetype or trope than actual breathing humans capable of having nuanced, complex, compelling stories
- the *gina linetti voice* 🎶 racism, racism, racism 🎶
- tell-not-show writing style that feels like a slog to get through and is hard to remember because of its’ utter inability to be compelling
I was hoping to like this book better than beach read, which I read a year or two ago and also DNF’ed, and since someone whose book opinions I value & respect is a fan of Henry, but I just couldn’t get past all of the above; I think her books might just not be for me 🙂↔️
