Barn Burner
by Anastasija White
DID NOT FINISH: 75%
First, the fact that her business is never given a name and is instead referred to as her "dessert shop" instead of bakery is infuriating. I tried to ignore it, but it seems so juvenile. Like Paris is supposed to be super important to her why doesn't she call it a patisserie?
Everything about this book is underdeveloped, I was really trying to push through but I just CAN'T. Both of these characters are flat and uninspired and the fake dating is terribly boring.
The anxiety representation is terrible, the way she is against seeking professional help and talks about herself is damaging and promotes false narratives about mental illness. Maybe it gets better after this, but I just can't give it any more of my time.
