Eeny Meeny by M.J. Arlidge

I first read Eeny Meeny back in 2017 but decided to give it another go this year to see if it was worth continuing with the series. I remembered little from my initial read, so I thought a second chance might change my perspective. While I still don't think it's a bad book, it hasn't convinced me to continue with the series.

One of the main issues I found was with the pacing—it felt a bit uneven and it made it hard for me to fully immerse myself in the story. Additionally, I wasn't particularly fond of the main character, which made it difficult to connect with the narrative on a deeper level.

However, I'm glad I revisited the book because now I know for sure that it's just not for me.

"There are countless moments in the average life when you have to decide whether to open yourself up or bury yourself deep. In love, at work, amongst your family, with friends, there are moments when you have to decide whether you are ready to reveal your true self."
