The Beholder
by Anna Bright
In the beginning, the main character definitely annoyed me. I thought she was very whiny, cried over a lot of things, and is extremely weak-willed.
However, I did like the middle part of the book, which made DNFing difficult for me. I really thought the main character showed growth and seemed to develop a spine. I especially liked when she walked away from her second suitor.
And then the insta-love hit. The number of times the main character fell in love with someone in this book and idolized them is astounding. She really fell in love with 3 different men in a span of weeks. Also whenever someone tried to give her advice on her love life she really didn't listen to them. This made her come off as a whiny snot-nosed brat.
The world-building was also confusing. I could give a definite time for when the story is taking place. Some modern inventions that the main character is surprised by, but there is modern speech in the text. The contents and countries are the same as our world, but there are differences. Overall, just confusing.
I DNFed this at pg. 303.
