Normally I don’t post about books I don’t finish, but this one was a particular disappointment because I wanted so much to like it. It seemed appealing based on the plot description and reviews, and it was written by a friend-of-a-friend. But after making it through 100 pages, it still felt like something I “had” to do, not something I wanted to do. Like homework. Unfortunately, reading this book made me feel stupid. I felt like I had to read every paragraph two or three times to figure out what the author was trying to say – like I was translating her words from another language. Maybe I’m shallow, but I just don’t want to work that hard in my free time.

Will I buy her next book? I’m undecided. I didn’t particularly like her last one either, but I was assured that her next one is her most accessible one yet. I’ll probably break down and buy it.
