The amount of convenient coincidences are starting to irk me

Loving John and Hannah!

Aw loving the romance at this point - and James

I've slowed down a bit reading this - it started really strong but feels like a bunch of coincidences and retelling the same incident over and over for over 100 pages now. I really wish this was in 1st POV

repeat repeat repeat

I'm only in chapter 1 but this is wordy. There is a high amount of telling - sometimes repeating and telling. The audio is 9 hours long but I need to make it through just this really really slow chapter

This is very dry so far. It's not very engaging and I'm struggling to keep the kids interested - which isn't surprising as I'm bored.

There is a lot of info dumping so far - we are two chapters down. Nothing has really happened and it's a lot of every day activities that aren't at the moment helping to draw one into the story.

Did I mention the writing style is very dry? Monotone? Just not great for kids.

Enjoying it so far!

I've heard so many positive things about this book that I've honestly avoided it. But today is the day I start reading it.
