46 minutes in and main character is a total idiot, because REASONS

I’m 24% into the book when it was confirmed that it takes place in 1960s.
Before that I was pretty confused with certain date of births that were named, because I thought that the book takes place in CURRENT time. I did wonder if the book was taking place at 1970s though, but had no confirmation.

I’m more than halfway done and I’m still waiting for something to happen or for questions to get answered.

I want to punch Emerson, just a little. Or maybe strangle her a bit.

Devin is EXTREMELY pig headed, makes her very unlikeable.

The second hand embarrassment is strong with this one.
Why is Lahey so INSECURE though?

I’m starting to think that the author never had cats so she is writing what she thinks taking a cat to the vet is like.
Taking a cat to the vet WITHOUT a carrier? Just carrying it there? Being able to hold a cat when it starts squirming? Let me just laugh frantically as I look at the scars on my arms from attempting to hold down a squirming cat.

I just gotta know - WHY would a cat person call the self proclaimed cat hater for medical advice about her cat? When there is google available? And the answer is to always take you cat to the vet.
I’ve been suspending my disbelief and rolling my eyes this whole book, now I’m just calling BS on this forced interaction.

It really does not sound like Riordan.

DNF

Если кому нравится постоянная угроза изнасилования главной героини, то вам сюда.

It’s hard to read this book as a native Russian and Ukrainian speaker, especially when Kasia’s name is pronounced as “kasha” by the narrator. “Kasha” means “porridge” in Russian, so yeah.

Here is a revelation here but I don’t remember reading about anyone confiding in anyone in the previous book. Did i miss it or was it not even there to begin with?

Even though it is extremely slow and the characters are kinda boring, I was interested in it until the insta love happened.

Reading parts about Asha is like watching Memoirs of a Geisha. Makes me wonder...

DNF. Third of a book in and I still don't care.
