To Fill a Yellow House by Sussie Anie
Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.
Received advanced reader copy from Goodreads giveaway. DNF at 34 pages.
Alas, I did not even give this one my requisite 50 pages before I DNF’d. Did I really only spend TWO days reading this? It felt like I was staring at the book and going “should I DNF?” for much longer than two days! And yet, in two days, I only read 34 pages. I was interested in Kwasi’s art and was a teensy curious about the shopkeeper, but I could not force myself to continue reading with a hope that I would find a momentum or groove. I just could not get comfortable with this writing style.
I’m sure this story of unlikely friendship will find its audience. But I’m not one of them.
