Sounds brilliant. But it's actually an absolute bag of shite. Bail @ 30%

TheSpineView #HailtheBail Bummer! May the next be better@ 3mo
KateReadsYA Ha. I love this!!!! I get so irritated when a book sounds like it's gonna be all that and a bag of chips and then it turns out to be absolute crap 😤 3mo
jamield1911 @katereads it's the worst. I saw it was a dark romance set in hell. At 25% it was still the same two people just walking on sand continuously 🤣 erm, no thank you. 3mo

This one really did hold my interest in the beginning, but the further I got, the less I cared about these characters. And the way they all spoke in a very formal, semi monotonous manner was driving me crazy. The narrator was good, it was more about the way the dialogue was written. No one ever uses contractions in this story and it made them seem robotic somehow. #DNF #hailthebail

Bail at 50% I can not take anymore.

Described as "hilarious laugh out loud fun." It is not hilarious, I did not laugh, and it certainly isn't fun. It went on and on and on.....

DNF - downloaded a e book sample to give this one a go as it sounded interesting but I still don‘t like his writing style sadly.

Would have been read for the Literally Dead Book Club

I wanted so much to like this! I tried and hoped it would improve, but I‘m giving up. Made it a little more than halfway through. Why is even the play part boring? I don‘t like these women and they mostly don‘t feel like real, complete humans with true sisterly feelings for one another.
Sorry #camplitsy.

sarahbarnes I‘m sorry it didn‘t work for you! I liked it in the first part but it fell off in the end for me for sure. 4mo
Megabooks Yes, this was much duller than I hoped. Sorry it didn‘t work for you either! 4mo
Soubhiville @sarahbarnes that makes me feel better about bailing when I did. 4mo
Suet624 Haha. I didn‘t read your review until after I wrote mine. But that exactly where I bailed - in the middle of the play. 4mo

squirrelbrain The script part was a bit odd for me. Sietje looks like she‘s over it too! (edited) 4mo
