A review by ramreadsagain
Double Booked by Lily Lindon

Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.

I have never read a book with such an unlikeable main character, but I truly think the author didn’t intend her to come across like that. 

She is so prejudiced and mean, and I’m sure character growth is part of her arc but I just hated her too much. 

1. Thinks an interviewee in a video about polyamory is “surprisingly normal-looking”
2. Makes a “four eyes” joke (thankfully only to herself) about her 13-year-old student who commits the sin of needing glasses.
3. “ ‘Bisexuality? But I thought that was a bit of a…’ I don’t want to say phase but it’s definitely the word on my lips.” There is no excuse to write a character this ignorant when her apparent best friend is queer. 
4. She spends most of the first 15% horrified at the possibility of being queer because it’s obviously so terrible.
5. Not even going to talk about her terrible relationship… Justice for Doug. 
6. “Good thing I don’t have a speech impediment”

And when at nearly 20% in there has been no plot progression further than what is in the blurb, I truly could not bring myself to read 300 more pages of it.
