Review by val_theburrowofstories - The Lonely Hearts Book Club

Did not finish book. Stopped at 61%.

(Tried to read this in January 2025)

I just remembered that life is too short to be reading books you don't enjoy even if I got to 61% like that's enough for me to decide that I truly do not want to continue with this.
I think I had such different expectations for this book because of the cover, because of how people review it, because of the title...
And I guess this wasn't for me because I truly good couldn't care less about the characters. And now that remember I am not someone who enjoys reading character driven books.
Nothing happened, this was boring, too much stupid drama for my taste, these people need to learn about communication to fix their relationships and boundaries to not let that old asshole treat them like that because it's not funny or endearing to allow a fucking grown up treat you like trash.
Maybe if I related to any of the characters (thank God that I don't though) I would've continue with this. But this wasn't for me.
So yeah, when I think of continuing with this book I actually feel annoyed but now that I'm DNFing I'm excited because it just means I'll have time for other books in my TBR that I might actually enjoy.
