Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.

DNF @ ~25%. I find myself not feeling particularly strongly about this book even though I’m over 1/4th in. The core concepts are repetitive throughout and so is the writing style, which while beautiful in certain sections, leans poetic too often at a detriment. I’m not particularly invested in any particular characters or their relationships (and am not convinced of some). Outside of the protagonist’s relationship with her father and her difficulties with opening up to others, I have been mostly told about what she struggles with rather than shown, so I find it difficult to invest in her even though her story is important. I’m also struggling with my suspension of disbelief with the marriage and how everyone is reacting to it so far. A part of me feels compelled to continue reading because it is a very easy read and the core concept does pull me in. Unfortunately though, the execution itself doesn’t meet my expectations, so I’m going to put this one down.
