DNF @ 40%

This was such a disappointment. I loved her last 2 adult novels and really thought this would be up there.

It was cringey in a way that will date this book in years to come, it was messy (felt rushed and unedited), and also boring. I didn’t really care for the characters’ backstories and I think this book was trying to do too much. Maybe would’ve been better served had we been introduced to the fictional world in her previous works.

There was also a lot of telling instead of showing and I quickly got tired of hearing about her best friends and her ex and blah blah blah.

I read that people had issues with the third act conflict so I did skip to the last few chapters and yikes. Had I continued reading I would’ve been very irritated.

Hopefully her next one works for me!
