Disillusion: Reading a Book You Don’t Like After Reading a Book You Adored
Have you ever read a book that was like “OMG THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED RIGHT NOW AND DIDN’T REALIZE IT” and then you are on such a reading high that you cheerfully pick up the next book on you TBR list and you’re like “Oh. Wow. Someone...someone published this. Okay”?
Because I was so disappointed in the next book I read that I ranted to my empty apartment for a good twenty minutes, and I wonder if it is because of the amazing experience I had with other book. I mean, I have issues with this author and the way she has handled her characters. I knew that going in I would probably roll my eyes a time or two (or eight), but still plow through it because I needed to know what happened.
So I guess I had it coming for reading this book at all, even if I just needed to read it to ease my mind about what happened to the characters. I think the problems I have with the plot and the people in it are too deep-seated. They were just made glaringly obvious after reading this amazing, adorable, completely real book.
