Would’ve DNF if I did that, but I like seeing a book through to its end. This was especially (over) hyped on social media and no idea why considering most reviews are bad?! I couldn’t attach myself to Nora on an emotional level. Did find some things relatable here and there and the ending bittersweet but that’s what really saved it. The concept was really good but the execution was terrible. It feels like a half-assed “Before the Coffee Gets Cold”. Best character was Plato the labrador. Don’t waste your time, please.
