I'm DNF'ing at 38% because I am so bored I want to die and the idea of reading this is making me not want to read books ever again. Bye.
I'm DNF'ing at 60%
I really wanted to like this book. LIKE REALLY, I DID.
The book is so heavily descriptive that I was not enjoying myself. Some of the similes and metaphors didn't even make sense and were highly unnecessary. I was going to suffer through it because the plot was interesting, but then and these things don't normally bother me enough to DNF, but all of it together left me with a book I didn't want to finish.

Spoiler
there was a sex scene so clearly written by a man for a man's gaze that made me extremely uncomfortable to read. Also why the fuck was there that whole thing about Mia's boobs, it was weird.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I unfortunately am DNF’ing this book at 32%. I don’t find it all that interesting, and, found myself skipping over Welga’s chapters entirely for the side-character that is Nithya. I really wanted to enjoy this and it sounded incredibly interesting, but the plot just did not at any point get interesting enough for me to continue to read. Unfortunately for me, if a book is not interesting by 25%, it’s not worth continuing.

DNF @ 50%
TW: domestic violence, irresponsible drug use
I had to DNF this for many reasons, but the primary reason being the domestic violence descriptions being personally triggering (unusual for me). The writing was hard for me to get into it, and there were too many characters. I found that any time I started to enjoy the plot or the story, another character of interest was introduced, and I felt distracted and swamped. Additionally, there’s a way to do multiple plot lines in a book, past and present, and this didn’t work well for me. Instead of adding to the interest, I found myself internally groaning anytime we switched plots. We also just sort of offhand mention our main character abusing pain killers and driving and that was weird.
