Griz by Eddie Cleveland
1.0
1.5 ⭐ Dnf at 42% (I'm trying to only rate books that I finish but this one had to have one). The blurb was great however this book was shit. I don't usually say to not read a book because everyone has their tastes however I'm telling you don't read this. (Also I started with the 3 one and only after noticed it was a series.) Mind you I though this was going to be one of the cute plus size books but is just her body shaming herself.
If you still want to read this book just have this in consideration:
- This book is repetitive as fuck
- Her chapters just mention her sister, her sister's wedding and her parents, not one not two but like 5
- Her sister is a bully and the FMC just thinks that her sister 'doesn't know better'
- The FMC is just body shaming herself throughout the parts that I read
- She hates the wedding and all that yet all the first chapters that's all there is, she doesn't mention anything else
- His chapters are just about that he had a scare pregnancy with a puck bunny and was going to be a dad
- The amount of 'bunny' that appears in each chapter is alarming
- This all starts with the auction, personally it's weird that she bid since she was presenting it, and she bids thousand dollars and in the next chapters doesn't know if she has the money for a couch, why would you bid then?
- Why the little display with Blaze at the auction?
- Clementine is already a weird name but Clemmie as a nickname?
- They had to move a sofa and the dialogue was so forcibly sexual just to work out the next scene of the family group chat like ...
- The sister is more than self-centered and the FMC still helps her
- We only learn his name 35% in
- Their flight was canceled and they received a coupon for a restaurant, for a meal? No no, only for an appetizer, oh and it gets better, the fryer was broken so no appetizers for anyone
Actually good things:
- Starts with his chapter which is different and I liked it
- Has 210p so is quick, however with all the problems I couldn't even finish
- The auction was with 'low prices' (bc in college makes sense right)
- His nickname was Griz like a bear and he was the mother hen of his hockey group
Meh things:
- The introduction of the book was basically the blurb !?
- The chapters have names (weird ones) and they all appear in the chapter
- They were trying to open the conversation of sex and her first question was “are you circumcised?”
