DNF. I am on page 60 of 315, and /nothing/ is happening. The plot so far is, "I am pretty, but my sister is prettier. If only I were the prettiest." The point has been repeated an insufferable amount. The writing style is redundant and circuitous, like listening to an older relative tell a story they've told a hundred times before... Nothing is moving this story /forward/. At least, not at a gripping rate. I'm sure something happens eventually, but "eventually" is not enough of a promise for me to stick with this one :/.
