Karaoke Queen by Dominic Lim
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
DNF at 50%
I just really did not like this book. I tried, but it felt off. Like, I can’t quite put my finger on what didn’t feel right, but there was something.
I continued with it as far I did in hopes that maybe the further into the story I got that it might get better, but it didn’t.
Maybe I’m the wrong audience for this book. I don’t know… I really disliked the MC, he seemed incredibly self-centred and selfish. I also didn’t like the way he was immediately falling all over his ex, when they had said basically nothing to each other, as well as the objectifying language used. It felt like there was some sort of reckoning coming, but I just couldn’t be arsed to keep with it to find out.
And lastly, I really disliked the amount of lying that was going on throughout the story. And obviously I understand that sometimes you have to do what you have to do to be yourself and live your life, but this just really felt… wrong?
Overall, this just was not the book for me.
