A review by brucethegirl
Night for Day by Roselle Lim

Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.

I wanted to DNF after the first few chapters but pushed through because it was all I had access to with an internet issue. That said, I can't take it anymore. Almost 50% through and absolutely no explanation. On top of not caring about the relationship because "the sex was never the problem" they have such limited time together and they keep wasting it. They don't talk to each other, not about anything important. Their memories are directly related to what they're about to speak about. She randomly remembers how he never challenges where an offer of help comes from and so randomly she yells at him about not questioning anyone that offers help. He responds by... not questioning any help offered to him. And to be honest, this conversation made sense, without the need to tell the reader why she was going to have this discussion with him. It made sense without the hand holding. 
But that's most of the book. Lim tells the reader the background information before acting on it, tells the reader the justification for what is about to happen before it happens. It all felt very juvenile in story telling which made the more steamy scenes and mentions very uncomfortable, not even touching on the lack of chemistry I felt between the two. 
It's not 44% and I just can't bring myself to waste more time. Such an interesting idea, and yet such a let down. All because the author didn't trust her readers to be able to follow motivation and character drive.
