VenCo by Cherie Dimaline
DID NOT FINISH: 9%

So boring with way too many similes that I think the author believed would “elevate” the prose. Sample: describing Froot Loops  “Multicoloured hoops floated in the kitchen like tiny life preservers on a tile sea.” Or “She knew that something was on the way. She could smell it. It was what glass would smell like if it had a scent, cold and hard.” 🙄 After several pages of these, I was done.
