A review by sakisreads
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North

dark emotional tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

1.5

I truly wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. The premise of reincarnation and time travel are ones I thoroughly enjoy, so I had high expectations. It was also recommended by friends of a friend; two people with very different tastes in books had said they had enjoyed this one thoroughly. 

So yes. High expectations were there and were not met unfortunately 🥲

Harry August drags on… and on… and on… I really had to pull through the first 50%. It then started picking up a bit and I was hopeful again, before the dragging resumed at 60% 😫
I had to skim through so much of it; it was so unfortunate.

1.5 out of 5 stars for me unfortunately ✨ Sorry!
