The Last One by Rachel Howzell Hall
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
I did not read the synopsis -- at some point I had and likely thought the book sounded interesting, so I placed a hold for the book through my library, and by the time the hold came in I'd completely forgotten everything about the book -- so I went in not knowing what the book was about, but I felt like there was no hook in the 15% I read other than the fact that I wanted to find out what the book was about by just reading the book without looking at the synopsis.
The writing and plot are awkward but not in an interesting or entertaining way, and it's also all over the place. I had a hard time understanding some of scenes because there didn't seem to be a point to a lot of the dialogue. Then we'd get bits of "hot for each other" and it seemed so misplaced that it was almost cringey. Anyway, I finally decided to read the synopsis after chapter 6, and based on that and what I've read so far, I'm not interested in continuing the book.
