DNF Friday
Unfortunately, not every book can be right for every reader. Sometimes I can't get through a book for any number of reasons, but I think it's still important to record and acknowledge them, because you might feel differently and want to try them anyway!
So here's my list of DNF reads for this month, and why:
The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson: some books are polarizing, and you either really love them or really don't. Some people really love this book, and I wanted to, but I don't. I couldn't stand the main character Bel, and the pacing was unbearably slow for me. Too much was telegraphed in my opinion, so when I gave up and read a synopsis instead of finishing the book, I saw a lot of it coming and the rest of the ending was just...wild. DNF @ 42%.
Ember of Light by Hannah Jacklin: this book has some great reviews, but it just wasn't for me. It felt a bit rushed and cluttered/chaotic, and maybe I just wasn't in the place to read it, but I tried and it just didn't hook me so I gave up. DNF @ 30%.
