Dull as fuck, gonna be a DNF

The boyfriend seems a bit caricature-ish, but I’m enjoying the story. I wish they hadn’t thrown in every creepy white guy trope to make him so cartoonishly evil.

Loved it so much, I’m immediately reading it again!

Starting again, hopefully I enjoy it better this time

You know what’s not interesting? Reading about a basketball game that goes on for many pages!

Wow he does not write female characters well. Made Lex the most annoying, stupid, irritating character ever. Ellie is stupid and incompetent.

Pearl did nothing wrong!

Okay but what the fuck is this line. The main character has just found a man dead in his home and is riding away on her motorbike:

“The stillness of time in acceleration, wind surrounding me, the sound a deafening white noise. Time enough to think. Vibrations thrummed into my body. My ass, my cunt, my hands: all the points of contact with the Yamaha, thrumming.”

r/menwritingwomen material.

Omg that last line is equal parts frustrating and chilling. I really enjoyed this book even if it was an emotionally difficult read. I think men should read it as it shows so clearly the frustrations of womanhood.

The audiobook narrator’s voice does not mesh well with me. Plus the recording is poor quality. I will have to read instead of listen.

Bizarre but intriguing

Not really feeling it

Chilling

Wow this is really not doing it for me. I couldn’t connect and found it boring, and the prose is ostentatious.

Eh.

Ugh the ending has one of my least favourite but annoyingly common errors in apocalyptic scenarios. You can’t have a cow with no bull and have it give milk. You’d think a book so heavy on pregnancy wouldn’t make that error.

Enjoyed the book though

Went into this blind, very much enjoying it.

Woah this is tough to read
