Betty: A novel | Tiffany McDaniel

Bailedbailed

I‘m on Chapter 19 ... my current Audible walking book
And I do love the connection to nature & Betty‘s Dad‘s wisdom... but something isn‘t clicking for me with this one. The narrator isn‘t helping , but it‘s more than that , I‘m not connecting with the characters .... I‘m calling it a day #unpopularopinion ... I do wish Betty all the best in the future & I‘m a little curious about how her life pans out , but not enough to read on.

Cinfhen Awww, that‘s a shame, Cathy. It‘s a hard read and honestly it gets BLEAKER!!!!! I was really invested but I read this one, so maybe print was a better option 🤷🏼‍♀️ 3y
Cathythoughts @Cinfhen I think print might have worked better for me ... although I thought I‘d get over the narrator if I got involved enough in the story ... alas , it just didn‘t work ... 3y
Cinfhen Unto the next .... 💗🎧 3y
Cathythoughts @MsMelissa Yes! 😂 this is the one ! I bailed... relief at last #Teambail 3y

I tried. And then I tried again. And again. I don‘t mind the second person narration. Or the snapshots of life. But I hate Suzanne. She is such a narcissist. I can‘t do narcissists. She reminds me of someone I don‘t care to remember. I just don‘t want to spend one more minute with her. So I‘m letting her go.

Melissa_J We are both #teambail today! 5y
JacqMac @Melissa_J Lol I can understand why you bailed. I don‘t like bailing on a Canada Reads book either. But sometimes you have to do it for you. 5y
academiconbreak I couldn't deal with the first page even, with the whole sucking hungrily at her mother's nipple business. I started Brother last night. It's beautiful. 5y

Happy 2018! I put together some bookish goals for myself! I think I can stick to these! I am going to try and buy less books too and get what I can from the library! #ReadingResolutions

Melissa_J Great resolutions! I‘m firmly on #teambail 😉 6y

I know there are some who hate this book but I'm on team love. I lent my friend my copy and she never gave it back 😂 so she loved it also. After I read this, I wanted to read everything that Claire Messud had ever written. Also - this was long listed for the Man Booker Prize.
