DNF for me. I just could not get into this one - didn‘t particularly enjoy the writing or the story itself. Just wasn‘t my cup of tea.
Tried to read this for #BookedinTime, but I have to throw in the towel. The narrative is plodding and pedantic and the dialogue comes across as lectures by the characters. Life is too short —moving on.
The first hour of this 9.5 hour audiobook is full on physical and verbal domestic abuse, and I am not here for it. It feels like this is less how a boy‘s life is impacted by different potential names and more the impact of his abusive father‘s reaction to said names. I don‘t care to read a book that gives an abuser that kind of power.
I‘m sorry, it‘s probably me. I can‘t figure out what is happening and I don‘t care. Where is this going?! I am bailing at page 105 - if you can‘t capture my heart or curiosity by page 100, I am outtahere. I have too many books 📚 coming off hold and not enough time! 🕰️

I tried not to, but I‘ll have to bail on this one (gave it 100 pages). Perhaps it‘s the timing. The plot is promising, the characters have potential but the writing feels clichéd and unnatural. It maybe unrelated (or not) but I read two pages of Ann Patchett and I can‘t stop thinking about that book now. #currentlynotreading

With 76% read & 9 chapters remaining…this is a solid DNF for me. No matter what I did, I could not focus or keep track of everything that was going on. Too wordy for my tastes - reminded me of reading Shakespeare in HS😬🫨
I very much enjoyed the group read setting, just not this book😂🤭
