A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins
2.0

I REALLLLYYYYY wanted to like this book but it was painful for me to finish it. I hate saying this about books because I know how much blood sweat and tears go in writing books. However, this just didn’t engage me at any point in the book.
As with all Paula Hawkins characters, I couldn’t wait to be away from them and never look back. They are the people in subways who you don’t want to make eye contact with because they may get violent. Also, I am sort of tired of alcoholism being the vice trope in her books.
