This is not grabbing me like I thought it would so far. I was hoping for a fun read and hope it starts speeding up to become that. The similes and metaphors are grinding on me. Sunlight spilling like a broken egg yolk had me rolling my eyes so hard that they were like balls in a pinball machine 😑 sorry, couldn’t help myself 😆

When exactly does this become a 4+ star book? Maybe as a teenager I’d have liked this, who knows? Maybe I’m too old for it, or maybe I’ve just got too many other books I’ve read to compare it to. Far out, I was so looking forward to reading it, thinking it would be fun, but it just drones on and on and on and on and on and on.

So many words, and so little said. I like words, I like descriptive and atmospheric books, but this just seems to have a lot of words without really telling me anything that couldn’t have been said in half the pages. As I read, I keep thinking about the Hillary Mantel quote on the front of ‘Small Things Like These’ - “not a word wasted” and wonder if I’m wasting my time with this.
