The Thing About Tilly by G Benson
3.0
3.5 Stars - I know I am in the minority again but it was just ok for me
OMG... this is book made me a bit nuts. Its too long and too repetitive.
I stared taking these notes while reading:
Tilly: I run
Evie: Tilly runs
Tilly: I love Evie, but I can’t tell her because I run
Evie: I love Tilly, but I can’t tell her because she runs
Evie: Shit! I am pregnant!
*repeat lines 3 & 4 until the amount of" yeah we knows" and eyerolling results in a sprain
Tilly: Evie is perfect. Loving her is like breathing but she deserves better than what I can give her
Evie: Tilly is perfect until she runs. I love her but can’t trust her to stick around.
Sean: Tilly runs. It’s a shame because my two friends are clearly in love but can’t get their shit together. I will say nothing to them about it even though it’s been clear as day to me for 10 years.
*repeat lines 5-7 until you are just about ready to call it quits
Finally find out what the big argument was about at 53%
*fucking bomb shell dropped at 60%
The big reveal is almost worth the price of admission. It's really good and I did not see it coming.
The rest of the book is better, but I still feel like it could have been edited down. I took me forever to finish and when I got to the end I confess, I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank god that's done.
