The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang

Did not finish book. Stopped at 42%.
I would have DNFed this book a lot sooner if I'd had anything else to read. It just really, really, really dragged on. If it was going anywhere, it was taking way too long to get there. It doesn't help that the character Misery holds everyone at an arm's length and then some -- for good reason, given their background -- which means there's not a lot of character interaction. Mostly we're just in Misery's head as she reacts to events and tries to ignore the delusion in their head. Honestly even if she'd just bantered a bit with the delusion, it would have broken up the constant self-reflection.
