Have been hearing so much about this Litsy find. Too slow for my taste, didn't sit well with me. DNFing it for some other beauty.💞

#UnpopularOpinion. For me, this felt like a bit of a hot mess. I‘m sure it would have been a more fun trip down memory lane if I wasn‘t 15 years older than the protagonist. But if I‘m going to read about privileged New York people I need a more interesting story. Having helped my parents through their final hours, I needed a better story to make it worth reliving. Same on having to face cancer this year. And how old was that cat anyway?
#UnpopularOpinion
Six contestants on a baking show. Two judges. A manor. A storm. A murder.
The different POV of the characters sounded too similar, though the narrators did their best to give them some individuality.
#UnpopularOpinion I just found this book so difficult to follow- multiple timelines, dozens of characters, so many side stories- it was just too messy for me 🤷🏼♀️curious to see what the #LiteraryCrew has to say about this one!! This was also on @MallenNC #ALSpine list - sorry I didn‘t love it as much as you did, Melyssa! I enjoyed the author‘s notes & im interested to see what she writes next. #ReadingTheAmericas23 #Jamaica
I may have waited too long after the hype to read this book. I was underwhelmed? I'm not sure if this one got so much attention as it was an African based YA, but having read others in the genre now (Blood Scion for example), I didn't enjoy this one as much. I found it overly long and slow. Also, I didn't really enjoy the brother/sister romances with the other set of brother/sister, it felt lazy and unnecessary. Gorgeous covers, though.
#unpopularopinion This book reminded me of all the reasons I stopped reading Dean Koontz years ago.
A woman on an island finds herself at the center of what could be an apocalyptic event. I disliked Koontz repeatedly discussing AR-15 rifles and how people misunderstand and they aren't really automatic weapons. It felt like an agenda after a while and really got on my nerves.
Bland characters, mediocre story...just not for me.
I read/listed to 14% but I'm just not loving ot. I rarely DNF a book.
