No.

This book makes me feel like I hate fun

I can’t do the whole lying thing. Plus I wasn’t super engaged by the narration 

I really wanted to love this book. I’ve picked it up and set it down at least a dozen times since July, but I simply think, at this point, that it is not for me.
The writing was not working for me. It was a but stilted, and it felt like it was sorely lacking in the editing department—I went and bought the finished ebook copy after release, hoping that might solve some of my problems, and while it was maybe a little better, it still didn’t get where I needed it to be for my preferences. 
I really enjoyed Eyre as a character, and I loved the discussions she had about her chronic illnesses. I teared up during the discussion of her endo and infertility. There was a lot of real, raw, heart to the portrayal, from the way Eyre explained it to Darcy, to her internal monologue, to the portrayal of her symptoms. That was by far my favorite aspect of the book.
I also really enjoyed the descriptions of the scenery. They were beautiful and visceral and it felt like I was there, in the Irish countryside. I did feel like some of the irishness came off a bit heavy handed, in a way that felt very much like being stuck in tourist central, which worked in the scenes where they were in tourist shops and such, but when it’s just Darby and Eyre by themselves or hanging out in the local joints, it still felt more like the kind of irishness catered to American tourists as opposed to genuine life-as-a-person-in-Ireland on occasion. 
There was a lot to the story that just felt a bit heavy-handed to me, from the themes to the dialogue. It was all so direct, more telling than showing. It made the narrative feel stilted.
I do think that this was one of the books that just didn’t work for me. I didn’t mesh well with the writing. However, I know others who absolutely love this book, so I think it’s worth giving a shot if it piques your interest.

So this is me, officially DNFing this book.
I hate DNFing, and I especially hate giving up on a book that was sent to me by the publisher, but I’m 30% in and I’m still so bored.
As I write this, the book is one day post release and has a 4.04 average rating on goodreads and a 4.14 average on Storygraph. Though I think those numbers will drop in the weeks to come as more reviews filter in, they’re pretty good averages, even for a brand new release. So, if you’re looking forward to this book and think it’s something you’d like, don’t let me dissuade you.
That said, let’s talk about why this book didn’t work for me.
From the start, the writing didn’t grab me. There was a lot going on—a lot of very emotional, intense things happening to Sophie. I mean, her life is basically falling apart. But the narration feels distanced from the actual emotions. I wanted to feel more immersed in what she was experiencing, but I struggled to connect with her at all.
A handful of pages in, we get to the “inciting incident”, I suppose? Sophie decides to go teach at a boarding school. Inciting incidents are supposed to kick off the story, make things happen, but once Sophie gets to the school…nothing  interesting happens for the next 100 pages that I read before giving up. She meets Jonas, her love interest, sure, but they barely interact, and the interactions they do have don’t drive the story or their relationship forward significantly/at all. Also, he’s just an asshole. This is supposed to be a grumpy-sunshine, enemies/rivals/whatever-to lovers type of book, but he doesn’t come off as grumpy-but-lovable. He just comes off as a condescending jerk who annoyed me to read about, for far too long. He was starting to have some redeeming qualities at the 100 page mark, but they weren’t enough to excuse the way he acted the first 100 pages. Not to mention there was no chemistry, no sizzle between Sophie and Jonas at all in the 1/3 of the book that I read. I think the author took the grump part of grumpy-sunshine and took it too far, leaving the reader with a character that has no personality outside of his grumpiness and is just generally unlikeable and uninteresting.
I mentioned that the “inciting incident” comes early on, but that nothing happens after that point. All it kickstarts is that it gets Sophie to the place she needs to be, but the moment that starts the ball rolling for the actual plot and character relationship isn’t until page 115. It did feel like things were starting to happen at that point, but it was just too little too late for me. Everything before that point could have been condensed into under 50 pages, and if it had, maybe I would have stuck with it. But by the time things actually started to happen, I was so bored of and disenchanted with this book and world and characters that I just couldn’t get myself to care.

So. Bored. Literally nothing happened, the narration wasn’t compelling, and the 9 year old acted like she was 6 most if the time which was just annoying
