I probably would have really liked it as a kid, but at 28 it is just really annoying.
Unfinished at 25%. I don't care about the characters, I hate road trips, and I hate when people are so bad at lying that they can't pretend they aren't talking to a goddamn ghost. Literally no one is that bad at lying.
Listening to the audio and gave up after 48 minutes, somewhere in Chapter 2. Her stories inspired more cringing than laughter.
Gave up after two chapters. I genuinely can't tell if it's meant to be funny or dramatic, but it fails hard at both.
So boring. Gave up after 42 pages because there was no plot, just a retelling of Jekyll and Hyde from Hyde's side. That should be thrilling, but it wasn't.
Gave up at 54 pages because it was so impossibly dull. I tried to read the last chapter because Melina Marchetta's blurb said the last chapter made her cry from start to finish, but that was too boring to finish too.
The first chapter starts so abruptly that I thought I had somehow picked up the third or fourth book in a series by mistake. But no, Reents is just a terrible storyteller. Gave up after 44 pages.
It's honestly impressive how Hawley managed to make a book about a plane crash boring as hell. Gave up around 30%.
