DNF @49%

I wanted to like this because the premise was so cool but then it kind of went WAY off the rails and I couldn't stay invested.

Like... I LIKED the murderous guardian angel concept but then everything that happened after? It was too many slices.

I will most certainly come back to this at another point but for some reason i cannot bring myself to pick it back up right now

I actually lied on GR when I said I'd continue to give this a chance. I set it down yesterday and I now have no desire to pick it back up.

DNF at 40%

I was already feeling iffy on these characters but Bristol Keats waxing poetic about a laundromat like she's the quirky lead in every 2000s indie movie was the final straw for me. It just felt like we were trying to hard.  To what? I don't even know. Make her interesting? 

Kind of a shame because there would be moments that caught my attention and made me say "yeah, okay, maybe we're getting somewhere now." And then literally nothing. 40% in and I don't think I should have been asking myself "god, when will this book be over?"

The narrator actually did a wonderful job though. Kudos to Brittany Pressley.

This is not goodbye forever, just goodbye for right now.

It's fine I just was in the mood and then woke up and was no longer in the mood. May come back to it another time.

The writing is terrible. This is clearly a beloved series but yikes. I guess I will not be finding out why.

I really was not feeling the characterization of either of the MCs or how they interacted.

Also, I read a review that mentioned a later scene between the older MC and the younger MC (who happened to be drunk and unable to reach anyone else.) I have really icky feelings about dubious consent when alcohol is involved. ✌🏻

meh, started this last night in bed and upon waking this morning I literally had no desire to pick it back up

I think I had tried but I couldn't get past the dubious consent of their first sexual encounter (which happened immediately). Not a fan of one party being drunk and the other just going with it. Or of the lack of sexual tension and build up.
