The Incredible Kindness of Paper by Evelyn Skye
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

This author’s writing style is just not for me. I’ve pushed through her most recent two books, but I just can’t do the same with this one. It feels like I am being told exactly what’s happening in a way that makes it seem like the author is assuming the reader is stupid and cannot make any inferences on their own. Like there was a whole paragraph about why a character wiped down a table after sitting down (which felt so incredibly unnecessary).
I think the overall premise is interesting and I can see that other people may really love this, but I am just not one of them, unfortunately.
Thank you to Atria and Netgalley for the advanced copy!
