3.5 Stars I’m conflicted on continuing. The concept is interesting (not exactly original) but this book felt so dragged out and kinda boring. Not to mention the heroine basically serves as a body for the guys as they’ve not had human contact in years. For the storyline, I get it, but it also takes away any type of romancing between any of the characters. If I wasn’t in such a book slump I would go on but for now I’ll hope for the best for this crew.

Dnf at 38%, 3 hours and 32 minutes. The concept of this sounds so interesting (even if I’ve read other books similar) but oh my god, why is it so dragged out and repetitive?
We get almost every scene in separate chapters from both the FMC and one of the MMCs, both about the same. The MMCs chapters are basically the same with basically only changes to metaphors to fit their powers.
We get the FMC’s mother died. We get she taught her things she didn’t mean to. We get she was counting breaths, sorting meds, she was talking to connect, she was not talking to connect etc etc. crazy crazy how much the dead mother is mentioned.
182 pages and she’s only just got around to touching the third MMC. I can’t even call this a slow burn because honestly (despite the fact she slept with one of them) I actually have no idea why. I agree with one of the MMCs that she has a saviour complex, that she just wanted to be needed and this is a way to do that and not have to deal with her grief ( did I mention her mother died, I did right? 🙃). It feels like this is all meant to be an emotional build up but it just flops.
