Books #35

I found this book very irritating. Her characterisation is all over the place - she's supposedly intelligent, goes to work every day, listens to the news, does crosswords etc and yet has never heard of McDonalds? Like, she's unwell and possibly neurodivergent, she's not an alien.

Yes completely! I get that it was probably meant to be a bit of arrested development with her trauma from when she was 10 but I found her characterisation so jarring that it took me out of the story if that makes sense?

Spotify has a great range but its 15 hours per month. Im not sure if you can buy more. I havent looked in to it in depth.

You can buy 10 extra hours for £9.99 but unsure if you can rollover to the next month

i loved fourth wing, but the second book was so confusing I had to give up. I think it's an amazing idea, but violet is very much a mary sue

she is, bless her i’ve only read fourth wing but felt like they just about kept a hold on her going full mary sue (as opposed to feyre in acotar who has achieved a whole new level) but i knew it would only get worse!

I’ve read it and really liked it. It does not pick up though and I don’t think the mysteries get any more interesting if you’re not interested now. I think there are a few character perspectives that left me wondering why on earth they needed to be included at all in the book. The ending isn’t particularly satisfying either.

* re-reading what I just wrote doesn’t make it sound like it’s a book I gave 4 stars to

I just finished it. It was a two star read for me, I pretty much agree with what you said

Random one but can anyone recommend any ‘marriage in crisis’ romance books? I know it’s quite particular and not a very popular written about trope but I feel like I need a deep book to read and have only read a couple and realised I love them!
