I think this author is not for me? Like, it’s the second book I’ve read from her and AGAIN I’m bored out of my mind (and like, I struggle sooooo freaking much with her characters and their behaviors…). Come on, I’m 50% in and still NOTHING… Please tell me it gets better because it’s really hard right now… I wanted to love this book sooo much…. I don’t know, maybe it’s me….

Jenni I generally love this author’s work (last book I read was easy 5 stars) but with this, I can totally understand your feeling. Even though the subject matter and plot are actually interesting (or one would think so), it felt very repetitive, and I found myself getting bored too. I don’t actually remember it getting better towards the end 😅 (well, plot wise, maybe the MMCs' dynamic worked for me more? can't remember 😄) At least I was way more invested in the beginning..
And now that I’m trying to read the second book (which EVERYONE else seems to rave about and love), I’m seriously considering DNFing it 😩
Looking forward to hearing your final thoughts!

CC Not just you! I rated this book 1 star. About halfway through, the plot started dragging… The ending made me so mad!😅

I literally waited for book 2 to come out before starting this one, but now I’m 76% in and it’s EXACTLY the same as it was at 51%… nothing has happened between them, and they’re still in this hospital running around everywhere 😭 It’s painfully slow. I skip I don’t even know how many pages and I miss absolutely nothing. At this point I don’t even know if I’ll manage to finish it… so I highly doubt I’ll even start book 2 😭
