Herrick's End by T.M. Blanchet
Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
I DNF’ed at 45%, I really tried to finish and enjoy this book but the pace was just too slow for me.
The world building is interesting and I liked the MC however, while it is nice to have some plus sized representation, Ollie’s obsession with food was distracting to the plot. I understand Ollie’s struggle with his weight and relationship with food but it was just a bit too frequent and took away from the main plot.
The book is certainly dark with a lot of references to domestic violence but this is handled really well and we get a variety of experiences and a look into how this affects people and their thought processes.
If the story moved along just a little quicker, I think this would be a really excellent book but it just wasn’t for me.
