bailedHow to properly evaluate a teen girl who has experienced trauma and now is withdrawn, says spooky things in a weird voice, and believes a witch is watching her, per the actual psychologist (and a reporter she barely knows but eagerly joined in this trip) in this book:
1. Pack a bag and move into the family's small house for an undecided length of time.
2. Have one private conversation with the afflicted girl of maybe 30 minutes' duration.

bailedToo 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
bailedThe 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.
Another book checked off the #14books14weeks pile @Liz_M
bailedBailing on this one.
I am a mix of bored from the repetitive story and super frustrated at various character‘s stupidity. #hailthebail
bailedWell, 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.

bailedI‘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.
bailedI‘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.
bailedI‘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.

bailedEverything 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 😭
What? You think that sounds wildly inappropriate, unprofessional, and unethical, even if there is something supernatural going on? Then this is not the book for you. DNF. 1d
