A flop in my #UnpopularOpinion.
#unpopularopinion I've seen a lot of good reviews for this, but I'm finding it boring and I can't get into it. I'll definitely hold on to it, maybe give it a try again at a later date.

Opinion needed: this is a #BlameItOnLitsy so, I humbly ask for some help here.
I had been getting ready to start this, until I saw Lisa Gardner‘s review on the cover comparing it to Jillian Flynn‘s book. I love Gardner but absolutely abhorred ‘Gone Girl‘ (same goes for ‘Dark Places‘ & ‘Sharp Objects‘ as well🤦🏻♀️😬).
My question: What were everyone‘s thoughts on this one? Was it like Flynn‘s or was it a good read?

Love the idea - execution was not good for me. Hard to follow the world author was creating - could not visualize it.
On to another book -
Make a great day everyone 😊

This was #MoreMehThanYeah
Daphne was dumped by her fiancé Peter. Miles was dumped by his girlfriend Petra. Petra is Peter's BFF. Peter decides, at his bachelor party, that Petra is the woman for him, not Daphne. Daphne now needs to move out. She can have a room in Miles's flat, since Petra moved out of Miles's flat to move in with Peter. When the wedding invitation for Petra and Peter's wedding... ⬇️
I listened to this on audio. The narrator was fantastic. The book - not for me. #unpopularopinion It was fast paced, but the voice is so incredibly unlikable. I understand that this is the point, but it just wasn‘t for me. It is also a scathing look at the publishing industry. It hits you so hard over the head making its point, it wasn‘t enjoyable or funny. It was a truly interesting idea for a story, that just didn‘t work for me. ⭐️.5 /5 ❤️📚
My first book finished from the Women‘s Prize for NF long list, although I‘m in the throes of reading most of the rest at the same time! 😃
I really struggled with the style of this at the start and had to keep re-reading to digest what was being said, although most of it was fascinating information once I processed it, hence the pick.
The biggest issue I had was the stating as fact, things that could only be conjecture. For example ⬇️

Julia is not a feminist retelling of Orwell‘s book in my opinion. Not at all. A YA retelling maybe, at the most.
Julia felt very one dimensional to me, not like a real person nor a feminist one. The plot was flat too, I really can‘t understand the praise for this book. One of my least favorites of the #Litsy2024 shortlist.
#unpopularopinion low pick
Love the story line, the world building, the quest, Feyre, Rhys, Cassian, Mor, Amren and Azriel. Did not need 2 ½ - 3 chapters of sexual activity that read as if a 15 year old boy who had never engaged in sexual activity wrote it. It was repetitive and, at times, cringe worthy. The ending was good enough to keep me motivated to read the next one.
