DNF at 28%

This book follows a young woman called Lily who wakes up after a car accident in a strange hospital and she finds out her brother Cole is seriously injured. There are some strange rules regarding the place she is now in but she is prepared to break them to save her twin's life.

I DNF'd this at about 28% in as I knew I wasn't enjoying the book and if I had gone further I would have ended up skim-reading it. From the get go, this book seemed a bit all over the place with very little explanation with what was going on and I felt, as a reader, I was left in the dark while all sorts of crazy things seemed to happen. At no point did Lily seem to really question where she was or what was happening, she just wanted to be with her brother. But at no point did she take a moment to say,"all of this is a bit weird." And I didn't get that.

I also felt the writing in this just tried way too hard. Even the way Lily was talking was really unrealistic and I'm not sure why the author tried to stress her love and compassion for her brother so much. They're twins, the connection is there, the reader isn't stupid, let it be natural.

I just couldn't keep reading this knowing I would end up hating it and I didn't want to waste time skim reading it. One of my only resolutions for 2017 is to know when to DNF books I'm not enjoying so I'm following that rule early on now.
