DID NOT FINISH: 67%

This just wasn’t doing it for me? There were sections I enjoyed and connected with, but it all felt like such a slog to get through. Life is too short.

DNF at 43%. Bunny I love you, Mona you got me with All’s Well but this just isn’t for me. Not finding it engaging at all, the main character Belle (Mirabelle) is just..there, with no substance, and it all feels like the story and experiences are just floating around and not set into place. If that even makes sense! But yeah, not for me rn - it started with a bang but what a slog just to get to 161 pages in.
