maudjuliette's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 1%

The narrrator, Jenny Sterlin, is in my opinion terrible. I stopped after 5 minutes. I don't recommend.

I finished this book because I hoped for a good grovel, but it didn't live up to it. He tells her he realized he loves her when he realized he'd love their baby because it was part of her...but he kind of said the exact same thing 50 pages earlier. So it didn't really feel like a revelation. I also have issues with his love to her being tied to her ability to have children. Like, if she hadn't been able to get pregnant again, would he have never realized it? Because that feels sort of icky.

It was an okay read.. I was rolling my eyes at a lot of passages. All in all, not a good decision to re-read. Sort of highlighted why I've stopped reading Quinn.

Turner is a big aggressive, weird vibes. Justice for Winston

Nice story once you are able to pass the narrator’s voice. Predictable in some areas but not all.

Not gonna lie Turner really had me in the first half. The ending was disappointing, but it was overall a fun read
