Where the World Ends by Geraldine McCaughrean
2.0
I'll be honest here folks. When I got Where the World Ends in my BOTM box forever ago, I was really excited to dive into it. After reading the synopsis, I thought that this would be a unique survival kind of adventure in a place I've never been - Scotland! So it's definitely bittersweet to be completely disappointed by everything that I read today.
It's probably a huge "it's me, not you" situation. I tried to find something likable but I just couldn't. There were times where I kept catching myself zoning in and out while reading the book. So I decided to try the audiobook just to switch things up. I was definitely hoping this would help me zero in my attention to what was happening but nope - I kept zoning in and out once again.
Today just wasn't the day for me. Well, with this particular book. I'm hoping the next one will get me out of this weird funk but who knows. I'm also not giving up on this book completely either. I'll definitely dive back into this world later in life and see if my opinion on anything or everything will be different. Maybe on a nice weekend with zero plans just so I can give this my full attention.
