And just as I thought I was starting to like lit fic……I pick up this book. Either it’s the slowest start to a novel EVER or nothing has happened and nothing will happen in this book. I’m going to try to push through but there’s no intrigue right now; I could put this book down today and never think about it or the characters ever again. Also Manuel is still just as insufferable in his descriptions of women.

I think I’m gonna DNF this one. I just don’t care about these characters, and it doesn’t feel like the author does either. The writing is too emotionless and objective for the subject material and I really just can’t be bothered to spend another 8 hours of my life finishing this “story.” I put story in quotations because very little has happened and I doubt it’s going to pick up.

This book has gotten more sufferable since my last update. For one, the section from Manuel’s pov ended. I started stomping and clapping. It’s still not the most interesting read but I’ll take just boring over boring AND misogynistic any day. I’m getting through it a little easier from this third person perspective now, or is it the hospital’s perspective? Idk but I’ll update again soon.

I’m about a minute into Manuel’s narration and I already want to DNF solely because of it. “and those tetas… just enough. Round and tender, the kind you want to test for firmness like a fruit. Feel the weight of them settle in your fingers.” Excuse me???? I had to double check the author because I thought there was no possible way a woman could’ve written this, but alas. I’m praying he has an arc bc jfc
