ericarobyn 's review for:
The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock
by Imogen Hermes Gowar
DNF.
From the synopsis, this book sounded so fun and interesting! But yikes, it was a total miss for me. I made it about a quarter of the way through and had to call it.
I just didn’t care about the characters or where their relationship was going in the slightest. Each time I put the book down, I didn’t care to pick it back up.
Overall, I will agree that writing was lovely. However there was a lot of horrible comments about characters bodies going on that seemed really unnecessary; specifically in regard to weight.
The thing that really ruined this one for me was the pacing of the story; it was much too slow for me. I also had a very hard time with the overall storyline because it just seemed to ramble on and on about elements that didn’t add to the story at all.
