The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot

DNF @ 80%
I don't know what really affected the story for me. Whether it was the writing or that it was in verse. I don't know if this story was told well written in verse. Maybe it would've been better in the "traditional" format but at the same time there wasn't enough story or plot. For the first 30%, I didn't even know what was happening. I was just confused to the setting and who everyone was. Then as Charlotte starting getting into taxidermy, it became much clearer. She was using it to connect with her sister over the loss of her mother and going against their aunt. But in the end the story just didn't work because it was boring.
I received an E-arc copy of this book from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
