The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association by Caitlin Rozakis

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

---

I was actually really looking forward to reading my digital arc that I got through Netgalley. The cover sounds pretty, the story sounded funny and I loved the setting. However, it's quite clear that I'm not the target audience of this book. I'm single, my friends are single and the world of kindergarten is completely foreign to me. Since this book is mainly character driven you really need to feel a connection with these characters to be able to enjoy this book the fullest. I didn't have that connection and was quite sure I was not gonna get it. And maybe it's a good thing I'm not a parent. I'm only 22% in and yet there was so much that actually annoyed me. The lack of communication, the lack of agenda, the entitlement, the snobisme and then there's the supernatural chaos. I love universes where every storybook myth is somehow true, but I can imagine that for these parents things are insanely overwhelming. They also were for me. 

I'm pretty sure a lot of people are gonna enjoy this book. I think, despite the supernatural elements, it's very relatable and realistic. There are a lot of funny elements and a lot of experiences straight out of real life. But, not out of my real life. So, I will move on to books fitting me as a person a little better.
