People Watching by Hannah Bonam-Young

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

---

hannah bonham young’s back catalogue has been on my tbr for ages and i’ve never gotten round to it, so when i saw the arc of this on netgalley (thank you ……….) i jumped at the chance. this was also my first ‘autumnal’ read of the year and i was really looking forward to it. 

immediately felt a connection with prue’s character although i initially found miles a little more difficult to like (im really not sure him having a POV added to the book here…) 

feels like a sunday afternoon in september read 

i don’t know if im being stupid but i really don’t understand the ‘killer’ nickname, maybe this is a cultural thing with the author being canadian and me being from the UK but i do also think it was overused somewhat

dnf @ 35%, i found it quick and easy to read and did consider finishing just for the sake of it… but i really can’t stand the ‘experienced male’ ‘infantalised 25 year old virgin’ trope. miles POV detracted from the story for me - he made me very uncomfortable.
