bailedI‘d never read a Rainbow Rowell book, so when I saw this on the library shelf I figured I‘d give it a try. Almost 100 pages in and I‘m throwing in the towel. The main character is annoying, the dialogue is trite and stilted… and the worst offense? It‘s just so incredibly boring. 😖 Moving on.
Aims42 Oof, that‘s a lot of very valid reasons to bail 🫠 Onto better books! #Hailthebail 🚀 1d
Prairiegirl_reading I‘ve only read one Rainbow Rowell and I felt pretty much the same but I finished. 😕 (edited) 1d
freeatlast1137 I haven‘t read this one, but I can agree on her writing style. I have struggled to finish her books. 1d

Amiable @Prairiegirl_reading @freeatlast1137 I tried so hard to push through but got to a point where I thought, “why am I wasting valuable reading time on this?” I was surprised because I‘d heard good things about her books. This did not meet expectations at all. 😖 15h
Amiable @Aims42 My sentiments exactly! 🚀🌞 15h
Prairiegirl_reading @Amiable I am typically an unapologetic bailer but sometimes I have times where I think I should be better at finishing so that‘s probably why I finished. My comment was meant to be more of a “bad on me.” Too many good books!! 15h
Amiable @Prairiegirl_reading oh, I‘m with you! It took me a long time to get to a place where I could bail —I always felt obligated to finish what I‘d started. I still feel kind of guilty when I do. But the older you get the more you realize how little time you have left to read all the really good books out there —so you can‘t waste that time on the bad ones! (edited) 8h
