“She don’t want to see me”
Is it wrong to DNF a book 5% in because the main character keeps using improper subject verb agreement? I know it’s a cowboy romance, but I don’t think I can do 300 paged of purposeful bad grammar.

I think this is a valid reason, unless the grammar is an integral part of the story like in the color purple for example. otherwise, ew.

He’s a cowboy so…. Integral? Lol
Definitely took me a minute to get over the grammar, but I needed an easy escape and this was it.
This is why I haven't started this series yet. I saw some dialog somewhere that indicated this and I can't stand it! I don't care if they are cowboys, it's just "ick" to me. I was hoping it was a one off, but seems not.
Elsie silver has some great cowboy romance options with proper grammar if my memory is serving me. No need to suffer!
This book is so poorly written 😭😭😭
I want cowboys, but I don’t want cowboys who talk like that 🤣
I’m from the south so this sounds like everyday speech to me. 😅
I nearly quit one the other day as they kept using further... when they meant farther. It's such a small thing, but it really irked me.
Agree with Lauren…run to read Elsie Silver’s Chestnut Springs series. One of my all time faves.
This is NOT a good cowboy romance. I agree with Elsie silver Rec
Bad grammar makes me ragey. DNF the book then make it go stand in the corner with a “dunce” hat.
As an ESL Teacher, this is a big no-no for me! Lol
