Just was not happening for me.

HeatherBookNerd @dabbe I‘m learning to let go 1d
dabbe @HeatherBookNerd It's so hard! We want to read ALL the books, don't we? That's why I came up with this--to make me feel better about letting go. 🩶🤍🩶 1d

I had a feeling going in that this would be a DNF. I read two other books by this author that left zero impression. But I needed something to tide me over from Christmas to #BookSpin day.

Gave up at almost 60%. Everything in the story feels like a filler right now (after 2 big reveals), and it is dragging.

ManyWordsLater Aw! I loved this book!! But I don‘t remember when the biggest reveal happens… 6d
willaful I bailed too. 6d
BarbaraBB I fingished it but didn‘t like it much. 6d
Lesliereadsalot I liked this one even tho it‘s been years and I can‘t remember that much about it! 6d

I gave it a good chance. Got to just over page 50 and thought it‘s not worth continuing it.

DNF. 13% in and so far nothing but a straight guy complaining how difficult it is to get laid. Not my cup of tea.

My last DNF of 2025. The story is moving too slow to keep my attention. I gave it over 50 pages, but I don't feel it's going to get any better. #hailthebail

Ruthiella I read that a million years ago. I can‘t remember if I liked it or not, which means it was probably only so-so. 😉 1w

I listened to 2.5 hours of this 25.5 hour audiobook and it just wasn‘t doing anything for me. I hung onto it for a few days, but I have no interest in going back to try to keep going. Thanks to @Suet624 for helping me know bailing was the right choice for me! #TOBlonglist

BarbaraBB Such mixed reviews about this one! One day I‘ll find out where I‘ll end up! 1w

Bookwormjillk Too bad. But good to know for when I try it. 1w
sarahbarnes I really liked this one, but it‘s definitely too long to read if it‘s not working for you! 1w
merelybookish I am curious about this one and Flashlight. Two long books that seem to get a lot of love and exasperation. 1w
BkClubCare Good to know; thanks for sharing 🌟 1w
Hooked_on_books @merelybookish Flashlight I liked, and I hated Choi‘s precious book, so I say definitely give it a try! 1w
Larkken Oh no 🤦🏻‍♀️ I‘ll be putting this further down my list, there are so many in the longlist to try and this one is a chunkster! 1w
squirrelbrain I liked this when I read it, but can‘t remember a thing about it now. 🤷‍♀️ 1w
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain Oh wow, really? That‘s telling! You‘re making me glad I bailed. 1w

I need a book I read to have a storyline. Even a hint of one I can follow. This felt like line after line of half-finished sentences and paragraphs barely held together. I had to bail on it.
