Thank you NetGalley for the arc!
This was a DNF for me.
I’m pretty bummed because when I first got this I was so excited and the first chapter was amazing and had me hooked. Then the FMC became insufferable, unreliable and just not good.
The writing took a down hill turn fast and at one point when she kept talking about the flask and her drinking I wondered if this verbiage was meant to mimic being drunk. But I don’t think that’s the case.
I got pretty far but I couldn’t take it any longer. The fmc contracted herself constantly and was angry at how people choose to grieve and then would circle back and say she felt the same way.
I’m really disappointed because I wanted to love this. It had all the makings of a book I love but the character being this unlikable for me is a pass, I can’t connect with her
