A review by studio_rat04
A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger
DNF
This book was impossible to get through. The premise and intro were paced unbelievably poorly and astounded me this got past an editor or even could be written this way. The Phrase "her body felt like a breast" to describe her as fat is the worst thing I've ever read and I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stand how the writer thinks they're writing something so astounding and groundbreaking and the plot comes across as something I wouldn't write in middle school. I tried to get through this, I truly did, nothing worked here and things were so close to being good but keep missing. I don't know how to dissect this, it's just not how you write a book. The exposition and characters were painful and the pacing was so bad it made me laugh. The prose tried to be profound but came across as cringy, see the breast line, and I'm just not strong enough to get through this. But I'm counting for my reading because why the fuck not.
