bailed

Such a beautiful title & cover ... midway I did like it it a bit better ... I bailed about three-fourths in .. a late bail I just never really got drawn in & I felt there was a lot of over-explaining ... so, ultimately a bail. #unpopularopnion

rachaich I didn't find it as readable as her first. 4y

Cathythoughts @rachaich I have Homegoing on my kindle for awhile now .... but I‘d be slow to read it now 🤷🏼‍♀️ I might give it a try in the future 👍🏻😁 4y

MaureenMc Homegoing is very different from this one, so it might be worth taking a shot on it in the future. 😊 4y

Cathythoughts @MaureenMc Good to know ! Thanks 👍🏻❤️ 4y

sisilia I was underwhelmed by this book 😜 I enjoyed Homegoing, though. I think it has smart structure, and it‘s fast-paced. Totally different from the tagges book 4y

Cathythoughts @sisilia Yes ! I hear good reviews on Homegoing ... one day 🤞🏻😁 4y

Ruthiella This book didn‘t touch me in the way it did so many other readers. I finished it, thought it was OK. 4y

Cathythoughts @Ruthiella Yes , as much as I read of it , it was OK , only OK. 4y

BarbaraBB Oops, that‘s surprising! But you are right to bail. So many books out there! 4y

erzascarletbookgasm Oh, too bad this didn‘t stick with you. I haven‘t read it but Homegoing was not bad. Hope you‘ll get to that and I‘ll be interested to hear what you think then. 😊 4y

⭐️⭐️ The ONLY thing I liked about this was the book store setting. The second person narrative style was cute for about two chapters, then it became annoying and exhausting, especially for a book over 400 pages. And, for me, a small amount of this type of violence goes a very long way, and there was far more than I was expecting. I found it disgusting, not entertaining.

#unpopularopnion

Prairiegirl_reading I really appreciate these kinds of reviews. I suspected that the level of violence was higher than I could handle but so many people seem to love this it always makes me curious. You saved me from that!! Thanks! 6y

DieAReader Ty for the review! I had it on my TBR, but not anymore. 6y

britt_brooke @Prairiegirl_reading Thank you! I felt like the description didn‘t hint enough at the amount of violence. Had I known it would be multiple circumstances, I wouldn‘t have read it. The only reason I didn‘t bail is that I wanted to know how it ended. I should‘ve just googled it. 😬 6y

britt_brooke @SquidgetsRoom Happy my review helped you decide. 💚 The hype got me and it was just not what I was expecting. 6y

aa_guer2021 I got through this because it was a choice of the reading group I was part of. It was incredibly tough to keep reading for very, very personal reasons. So this might not be such an #unpopularopinion 6y

britt_brooke @ruskigurl16 I‘m glad you said this because I‘m now finding that it‘s more polarizing than I initially thought. I‘m also sad and sorry for how it must‘ve made you feel. (edited) 6y

EllieDottie I also found the voice exhausting!! 6y

britt_brooke @EllieDottie Thank you!! If the book had been more like 300 pages, maybe it wouldn‘t have worn me out so much. 6y

tournevis The cover triggers me. I am not reading it. I am not watching it. No way. 6y

Laura317 I bailed on it. I just couldn‘t do it. 6y

Bookzombie I bailed on this one. I just couldn‘t get into it. 6y

britt_brooke @tournevis You‘re right about the cover. I usually steer clear of these types, but the hype finally got me. I should‘ve skipped it. 6y

britt_brooke @Laura317 Good decision! 6y

britt_brooke @Bookzombie I should‘ve bailed. 6y

TelevisionNeighbor I didn‘t like this either. Skimmed through the second half. 6y

britt_brooke @TelevisionNeighbor I‘m happy to know I‘m not alone in disliking this one. 6y

ericarobynreads I had to bail on this one. I like horror but this one was far too unsettling for me. The stalker element was hard to read. 6y

britt_brooke @ericarobynreads I‘m not a horror fan, but thought this might be an enjoyable fast-paced thriller (I don‘t read many thrillers either, but the hype got me), but it was definitely not for me. I wasn‘t expecting Joe to murder multiple people on top of being a creepy asshole. It was just WAY too much. 6y

BarbaraBB I‘m unstacking immediately 😘 (edited) 6y

KerriNTurner On the bright side, your pic is gorgeous! 6y

britt_brooke @KerriNTurner Thank you! 💚 I snapped it on vacation last week. 6y

britt_brooke @BarbaraBB I support this decision! 😙 6y

britt_brooke @Rachbb3 Here‘s the review I posted yesterday. Bailing was a good choice. I wish I would‘ve. 6y

Rachbb3 It's amazing you got through it. Good review. 6y

britt_brooke @Rachbb3 Thanks .... well, I was hoping that the ending would be somehow redeeming. It wasn‘t. 6y

CBee I should‘ve checked your page first! AGREE wholeheartedly with this review! 👏🏻👏🏻 6y

britt_brooke @CBee 🙌🏻🙌🏻 6y

CBee @britt_brooke there is a SEQUEL. I can‘t 🙊 6y

britt_brooke @CBee Ridiculous, isn‘t it?? I‘ve read the reviews of Hidden Bodies and they‘re pretty terrible. 6y

CBee @britt_brooke yes! I‘m not even going there. 6y

britt_brooke @CBee Yeah, hard pass! 🙅🏼‍♀️ 6y

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel | Taylor Jenkins Reid

Slowly chugging away on the audiobook.
#UnpopularOpnion: Only just got hooked about halfway through- maybe it's the audio presentation but I've been pretty bored with it during the beginning and disinterestedly wondering why I should care about Monique.

Reviewsbylola I didn't necessarily care about Monique either. Evelyn's story was more developed. I thought TJR did a great job of including a dual storyline but making it minor enough that it didn't take anything from the main storyline. But I can see how others would disagree. 7y

mrozzz @Reviewsbylola Keep in mind I have a ways to go to finish- but is there any point for Monique to get so much "air time"?! 7y

Reviewsbylola Yes, it will seem more cohesive by the end! 7y

mrozzz @Reviewsbylola 👌🏻ok I won't bail. 7y

Purrfectpages I'm reading this now and liking it! But I'm not doing the audio version. Maybe that makes the difference? (edited) 7y

mrozzz @Purrfectpages I'm sure that has something to do with it. When it's performed the writing style sounds so wordy. 7y

Purrfectpages @mrozzz but don't necessarily go by my opinion. I'm not a huge audiobook fan, in general. 7y

mrozzz @Purrfectpages all shared opinions appreciated! Perhaps it was just slow to get started, I'm liking the middle (I just hate audiobooks but I'm trying to listen to more to get used to it- I like nonfiction better in this format) 7y
