A review by mikasana
The Awakening by Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
DNF @ 20%
I’m SAD.
Didn’t make it far… the writing was cringey at best, secondhand embarrassing at worst. Usually I don’t mind more amateur writing but there’s only so much I can take of ridiculous similes like “But I was under fed and had the determination of a Pitbull”, “my butt waving like a flag as I hung out the back of the house” or even expressions like “holy fucking shit on a cornflake”.
I knew it wasn’t going to be the best literary work going in but it still hit below my expectations. I’ve read fanfiction that had better storytelling and writing than whatever this was.
Gonna pass on finishing this. :(
