What We Both Know by Fawn Parker

Thank you, Netgalley, for the arc!
It’s a no from me. (I did appreciate the Canadian aspects of it).
I was intrigued by the My Dark Vanessa premise, unnerved by most negative reviews on Netgalley and Goodreads. Given those, I wanted to give this book a fair shot but it didn’t have much going for it. I almost DNF’d but ended up just skimming through it.
I was detached from the protagonist with no real clue what was going on because the writing style felt vague and boring. I nearly fell asleep while flipping through the pages. I was about halfway wondering what the plot of the book was because it felt like nothing was happening.
The term “baby,” has never been a favourite of mine in a nickname sense and now I’m truly bothered by it (especially since she uses it for her dad, for some reason. I would’ve picked a different name because it was odd to read). Also, I don’t know if this was intentional or if it was because it was an ARC, but a lot of words were written in alternating case letters like “lAst night i sAw my mother.”
