Welcome to Litsy!

Too many characters and too many timelines to keep a track of. Also, the story kinda lacks lustre a thriller would have. Now that I see a lot of people feel the same, it definitely lowers my guilt of DNFing it. #hailthebail

The writing is great. The story was meh. I could see the humor in the programming reduncies, but it just didn't capture my interest. It got very repetitive very fast. Honestly, it kept putting me to sleep, so I gave up on forcing it.

Bailing on this one.
I am a mix of bored from the repetitive story and super frustrated at various character‘s stupidity. #hailthebail

Well, at about 30% I‘m giving up. I am not finding this particularly funny, and I don‘t really like the main character. I know he‘s supposed to learn about who he is and grow as a person, but I‘m over it.

I‘m calling this a DNF. You guys gave me permission😂 I got 40% through and it was still a mostly sad story with very little movement on the bookshop piece.

I‘m just not fully engaged, and I don‘t know why, all the elements are there. Also characters keep making stupid choices and it‘s annoying. So DNF.#hailthebail another #bookspinbingo & #roll100 done.

I‘m bailing out of this one. The premise of the adult granddaughter of Arab immigrants finding her own voice in stand-up comedy sounded great. Unfortunately the comedy isn‘t particularly funny, she‘s got a cringey schoolgirl crush on her boss, and, when trying to learn more about her history, her grandmother gives her a journal to read that is written in third person omniscient. 🤔 Might end up fine but I‘m just not vibing with it.

Everything about this manga seems like I should love it. Unfortunately, three volumes in and I still don't like it. I'm just not interested 😭

Nope. Not for me. Too weird. #HailtheBail #BetterBooksAhead
