To start off, the writing is impeccable. Honestly, I think I stayed reading as long as I did because of how well the author wrote this novel because it was great.
With that said, the story was just plain boring. I DNF’d around the 65% mark and let my library loan expire, then decided to start it again a couple days ago. It truly didn’t pick up until the 88% mark for me and that’s when I felt like I couldn’t put it down. I liked Viv as a character, adored Fern and Porkroast, and was very intrigued by Satchel BUT it just felt like I was reading just to read, not to experience these things with Viv as a character but instead through a looking glass.
I’m going to read Legends & Lattes because I’m curious but as of right now, I’m almost not excited for it, which is disappointing.
