Pretty Obsessed by J.R. Gray
Did not finish book.
DNF @20%
The way these people talked was absolutely ridiculous. No one actually speaks like that.
It made it very hard to connect with anything that was said.
It was lust or love or obsession (or whatever the hell you want to call it) at first sight. Completely superficial and no depth whatsoever.
The only thing that I found enjoyable was their first meeting at the very beginning. I actually thought it was kind of cute. Unfortunately, after that it all went downhill.
The two love interests were also really weird. I didn’t understand their inner thoughts at all, and I felt no connection to either of them.
The plot and writing-style made it hard for me to keep my eyes open and not drift off to sleep. It was so stiff and boring.
There was more focus on and depth to this random side character than there was on either of the two main characters. I found this to be very disorienting, as I don’t understand why I should randomly care about this other character so much (FYI, I didn’t).
I thought about skimming some of the scenes, but then I realized I didn’t even want to continue reading any of this. So, to what point would I be skimming?
Nothing about this book seems good or interesting. Everything felt empty. Simple as that.
So, I had to quit. I’m not that much of a masochist.
