Knocked off a star because I thought there was a mysterious aspect to the novel that the author could've explored, but did not.

Revive Me, Part Three: The Apology

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

Boeing snooze fest. The author pulls a Sister Soulja dragging out a beloved story, which publishing 1000+ pages of flowery language that doesn’t pay off for authors.

I hate Black BookTok for recommending this to me.

Found myself skipping through much of the repetitive internal dialogue.

And the way the author is handling women’s deaths is quite disgraceful to me, given all the flowery language she’s capable of.

Not sure why the story is being told this way and why the Revive Me book series has turned into 3 books when it’s one book, clearly.

Will finish the series and post a complete review on that book but so far it appears that reviews for Seegers’ books are riding on the greatness of Restore Me solely.
