DNF @ 46% — Well bugger all. This one is not even remotely as unappealing as Stroked was for me. That one was an easy choice to DNF. This one I wavered on for god knows how long before finally throwing in the towel. The problem is the book isn’t bad. But it just wasn’t for me. I’m having a hard time pin-pointing what exactly isn’t going right with this author’s writing and my own personality. For me the humour feels a bit…forced? Or like trying to hard? And it’s a bit immature, which I normally actually don’t have a problem with, but apparently there are different kinds of immature.
And basically I didn’t mind the characters, but I could tell I was unlikely to fall in love with either of them. I had some soft spots for Andrew, he had some truly funny lines and he could be really endearing. I think I was bummed b/c he had a lot of nerdy qualities (which I love), though some felt a bit stereotype-y, but then for some reason he became a sex god… Which, a nerd could totally be. But it didn’t fit for me. I don’t know why. I’m also one of the few nerds on the planet that doesn’t actually like The Big Bang Theory, so I have a feeling that the same things I don’t like there were at play here.
Sadie was hard to love. I’m sure if I’d continued I would have gotten to know her more, but I just didn’t get there in the first half. Her group of friends sure were eclectic though.
Honestly, I could see this one being a 3 star if I’d finished it. So, like I said, not bad. And if I didn’t have so much to read before Book Bonanza, I would have given it a longer shot. Ah well, looks like I’m left on the outside of what’s popular yet again. Stupid hipster Lenore.
