A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
I didn't enjoy a single minute of going through this. There's no obvious plot, the characters are either unlikable or bland as cardboard.
Ultimately, there is nothing in here to actually care about. Effy Is not a driven woman with goals and strong will, okay, she's traumatised, but there are plenty of people who are traumatized and still set a role model example. Also, her consistently weird xenophobia joint with the obsessive jealousy over Preston got tiring real quick.
I have no clue what other people are praising about this book, because I can't possibly be reading the same thing. Mercies.
