A review by el_tayo
To Marry Is Madness by Ashtyn Newbold

2.0

This doesn't objectively deserve 2 stars but it took more over a month to read and also triggered a reading slump. It also made me finally admit that I don't suit Ashtyn Newbold's writing. I always get sucked in with amazing plot premises but I don't think I've ever read something that had measured up to my super high expectations. So I think it's time for me to finally bow out.

Like I mentioned the story is fine really, but the writing didn't grip me. Nothing felt super grounded or elicited any feeling from me - and I found it to be incredibly boring. The mystery itself was also really predictable and I found the romance to lack chemistry. The pacing also felt super off.

Anyway, this is definitely a case of it's me not you but I'm off the Newbold train I think.
