Zero O'Clock by C J Farley
2.0
I have received this ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Zero O'Clock seemed like it was going to be an easy book to devour. As someone who isn't necessarily obsessed with a band or singer, it was interesting to read about a person who was obsessed with a group: BTS.
Unfortunately, after meeting Geth it didn't take me long to realize that I'm not a huge fan of her. I didn't like how she looked down against people. Especially ones she didn't even know that well or at all. I did like how her and her friends would do GoT comments here and there but at times it just felt weird for my eyes to read it. Sometimes it worked and other times I got secondhand embarrassment.
Another thing I liked was it's take of living through a pandemic. Especially when it came to her mom, who is a nurse, and would come home crying every day after work. It hurt my heart because that's what my uncle went through and actually went into early retirement so that he didn't have to do that anymore.
In the end, it was an okay book but had potential to be a lot better in my eyes.
