I haven’t read this yet. I’m sorry that you couldn’t get into it.
Thanks Sharon, I added this to my read list as well, partly due to it's popularity, I'm always glad to see honest opinions from serious readers.
I have this on my agenda only because of the gushy reviews. Your honest thoughts help temper expectations to a more realistic level. Thank you, Sharon!

Thanks, Mathew! The great thing about books is that there are so many to choose from and readers have a variety of tastes.

Thanks so much, Rosh.
Oh no Sharon!!! I have this on my TBR. I think I'll put it off for a while. I'm not in the mood for this especially as I'm struggling with my current read!!

Thanks, Teresa. I hope you find a 4 or 5-star book soon.

It helps to know others feel the same way!

Thanks, Marilyn. I am surprised it was a DNF. I love memoir/biography and strong female protagonists. I researched details about the book, and it sounds like an incredible true story...but for me the pace was a challenge.

I gave it 2 stars rather than 1 star because it is based on a true story of a woman with grit, determination, and guts.
I am banished with yu, Sharon. I tried and tried as well and I cannot connect with this book for the life of me! We can fish together 🤣
