A review by janae
Bellies by Nicola Dinan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
I love the writing, I just couldn’t get into the story. Maybe I’ll try again at a different time.
EDIT: tried again, got to page 33. The writing is still good but ugh I just don’t think this book is for me. I’m not big into literary fiction anyway but if I’m going to like it I need drama, interesting characters and/or big reveals. I feel like the synopsis and the first few pages tell me everything I need to know and what’s this book is going to be. It’s going to be these two characters, one I loath and the other I would prefer to hear their pov, negotiating their romantic relationship.
It’s probably very realistic so if you like lit fic, realistic fiction, flawed characters, and realistic romance this might work for you.
