The Light That Gets Lost by Natasha Carthew
1.0
Read 33 pages and I was already sick of the writing style, so I gave in. This has to be the record for the least amount of pages I've read before dropping a book by far.
So apparently this is set in England?? Well, apart from "innit" I have never heard any English person talk like the characters in this book in my 18 years of living here. I've heard Americans talking like that, but no Brits.
Also, if this is set down south like everyone I know is saying, I've never heard a southerner say "innit" since it's a very Northern word.
But anyway, I couldn't stand this books writing style at all. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to reading it. The cover is amazing and the blurb really pulled me in, the concept is good as well but it's just so poorly executed.
Never been so glad a book was free in my life.
