DNF at 50%
The story wasn’t horrible, but it didn’t pull me in.
I was going to finish it until I realized two things.
First - I wasn’t enjoying it. I had to force myself to pick up this book. If at 50% I’m not invested at all in any of the characters or the plot, I probably won’t be at any point. So forcing myself to finish it was not worth it to me. (Though it’s sad to me that the characters were that unlikable. Ugh.)
Second - the catalyst for me stopping was this sentence: “The truck slammed on its breaks, and pulled over to the side of the street up ahead” (p. 127). Its what? Its BREAKS??? Don’t you mean “BRAKES,” you worthless piece of shit editor? That would’ve been caught in Microsoft Word - you have no excuse for missing that!! Ugh!! Do your job, and help books not suck. That was the last straw.
So yeah. DNF, and absolutely zero regrets.
