I DNF’d this book at 29% according to the Kindle tracking. I rarely decide to DNF a book, but I tried multiple times and couldn’t do it. 

 

I don’t decide not to finish books very often, but I just couldn’t with this book. Maya thinks she’s a god because she can read minds and knows everything. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know how to be a decent person. She’s rude and opinionated. Even if I sometimes agree with her opinions, I also don’t want a lecture as a reader about the patriarchy or capitalism right from the start of a book from a character who is supposed to be right about everything. There were so many generalizations, over-exaggerations, and dramatic claims that I couldn’t stomach it. I might share a lot of her opinions about those topics, but that’s doesn’t mean I want a lecture about just how very right she is about all of that. The multiple POVs (including the dog… no thank you…) made it hard to follow, and I just didn’t care enough about anyone to try to keep everything straight. 

 

I guess the tone was supposed to be funny or snarky, but I found it so grating I decided continuing would be a waste of time for me. 

 

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the copy in exchange for my honest review.
