Listen, if this was 2014, and we were on Wattpad, I think I could have enjoyed this. But alas, I'm not a teenager, and I've read great literature over the last decade. Abnd so....This book is probably for someone... But it wasn't for me.

Misery, the FMC, is just as miserable as her name makes her sound. Not only is she the most oblivious, whiny, obnoxious character, but she was supposed to be a math genius?! This woman could not differentiate a 3 and a 7 year old child. She could not tell whether a drawing was of her or her best friend. This woman was a skilled fighter one second, and couldn't walk in a straight line the next. 

And Lowe? I've had more chemistry with a re-heated french fry after a night out.

And the knot?!?!?! I will not speak of the knot. I shall hope my brain bleaches this one out of there.

I know this book, and Ali Hazelwood is widely popular.... We'll have to disagree on this one.
