Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.

DNF after 4 chapters. 😬

Picked up for the genre challenge sapphic romance prompt. Very well loved on booktok, figured I'd give it a try. However, for what is described as a pretty typical romance, it clearly isn't and it just has me confused and frustrated. And I've hardly even begun to read it. The poetic try-hard writing style just is not working for me. I haven't read a single sentence that endears me to the main character, much less any side characters. We keep getting short anecdotes and feelings about characters but no actual character building. And you're really telling me this woman gets married, doesn't remember who or why, and then just goes about her life calm as a cucumber?!

I know it's early, but I am just thinking, if the whole book is written like this, it's gonna be a very unenjoyable slog. I will find a different book for the prompt. 🙃
