DNF @ 22% — Uhhhh…. I got this one almost 5 years ago, I think because someone whose reviews I follow loved it. I can honestly say that we must have different tastes. I was NOT a fan of the writing style at all. It felt…simplistic? The characters came across really flat and almost like caricatures. I didn’t care about Zippy at all. There were no subtleties here, if that makes any sense. Honestly, I could tell in the first few pages that this was likely not going to be for me, so I highly recommend checking out the sample beforehand, and if you feel similarly to me, you should know fairly quickly.
Honestly, I was trying to push through b/c I don’t read a lot of books containing lesbians, and I wanted to switch in a non-contemporary book (since I read a lot of contemp). But then we got to the rum part, and then the trippy dream, and I got bored and couldn’t do it anymore. At a certain point you just have to admit when a book isn’t connecting with you.
