I'm just horribly bored. This is definitely more slow-paced than I expected.
after having this book on my TBR for years, finally trying to read it and only getting until page 77, I think it's time to admit it's not for me. it might be for others, but I find it mostly incomprehensible and I don't want to get through 600 pages of this
I got halfway through this book and I didn't care at all about any of the characters or the plot
I also promised myself I wouldn't keep forcing myself to read books I don't enjoy, so there's that

I couldn't make it through this book unfortunately, so I'm not rating it.

nothing particularly wrong with this one, but it's really not holding my interest

I have the same problem with this as Orlando. it's under 200 pages, and yet I just struggle while reading it. I can't handle the writing style and have no interest in it. there were actually a few good parts, but the truth is - while this book must have been revolutionary when written, it doesn't really tell me anything new in 2018?
maybe one day I'll pick it up again, but for now I just have to accept Virginia Woolf is not for me.

It took me weeks to get to 19% in this so at this point I think I should just accept it's not for me. Sorry :(
okay. no.
I knew from the blurb that the POV character would originally be ableist towards the autistic future love interest before the LI makes him change his mind, but I wasn't prepared for the EXTENT of it. within 7% of this book, Grant has stated that autistic people 1) don't know what sex and sexuality is, 2) are helpless and can't defend themselves, 3) aren't "normal", 4) have to have a family member care for them even when they are adults because they clearly can't live or make decisions on their own. those are prejudices that this guy should be sorting out far, far away from any neurodiverse or disabled people, NOT during a budding romance with one.
also: oh, I see. so Morgan is not normal and doesn't know what sex or sexuality is, but fantasizing about his lips around your cock is TOTALLY FINE, RIGHT? MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND, DUDE.
one positive thing: Morgan doesn't take any of Grant's shit, and the scene where he trolls Grant with the toothpicks was actually funny - but even if Grant changes his mind, I just can't root for their romance. why would you date someone who thought you were a helpless child a month ago?
