Elithanathile’s Reviews > To Live Again > Status Update

// Okay I’m done!! This is a crappy book and not so much because of the premise but because of the author’s writing here and the choices she has made!!

// Fuck this book is so fucking boring and it is so bogged down by all this divorce nonsense!! I don’t need to hear about this transitioning into single life and all this psycho-babble about divorce and moving on and all this bullshit just get on with the story and give us great times with both MCs that’s all you need to do!!

// I’m feeling very underwhelmed, because this book feels less about the MCs and more about Greg just dealing with his divorce and moving on!! Very underwhelming!!

// You have EVERY right to feel how you feel!! Also, I’m skimming the parts with Becky because, frankly, I’m completely disinterested in this part of Greg’s past!!!

// I don’t get why this author keeps fixating on going through the motions of dealing with the divorce from his ex-wife!! I want to focus on his life now and I want to focus on his blooming relationship with this man that he seeing, I don’t get why we need to focus on the past so much!! We get it, he’s getting divorced, let’s move on it doesn’t need to be a part of the story!! For fuck’s sake!!

// Author, if you’re going to have internal musings italicized, then use a different style for writing when it comes to text! To have text AND internal thoughts italicized in the same paragraph can be a little offputting to the eyes, so yeah!!

// STOP!! I AM READING M/M!! STOP THROWING LADY BITS IN MY FACE ... IT’S OFF-PUTTING, AND TO ME, QUITE GROSS!! I DO NOT WANT TO READ OR HEAR ABOUT PUSSIES!! EVER!!!!

// I don’t want to hear about the ex-wife anymore!! As I’ve said in my previous update, we get it, he’s a baby gay, he’s never been with a man before and he is figuring things out right now, which is great I am intrigued to witness him on it on this journey! But enough with the ex-wife! I don’t wanna hear about it anymore, we don’t need to hear about her! Stop!! And the comparisons do not need to happen!!

// A few things:
- It’s kind of a bummer that we only get one POV so the author better show us what we need to see!!
- Consistency is key! The author says there’s nearly 2 decades between these two MCs when there’s only 10 years (i.e. ONE decade) between these two guys!! Not that big-a-deal!!
- This author needs to stop comparing the genders! We get it, he’s a baby gay! STOP with the comparisons already!!!!!
