Welcome to Litsy!

At 25% I‘m not seeing any redeeming attributes. I‘m not morally opposed to spicy dystopian but The FMC is a bore, I don‘t know who the love interest is supposed to be because she thinks everyone is hot, she has no common sense, the dialog is terrible, the setting is info dumped, half the time I think things don‘t make sense & THE NAMES -so terrible. moving pretty slow for something compared to Fourth Wing and The Hunger Games.

Bailing on this one, just very info-dumpy and the humor is not landing. #hailthebail #doublespin off the TBR

How to properly evaluate a teen girl who has experienced trauma and now is withdrawn, says spooky things in a weird voice, and believes a witch is watching her, per the actual psychologist (and a reporter she barely knows but eagerly joined in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.

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.
