sowwy I just don’t think it’s my bag

I just feel like I get it at this point…..it’s fine but I can’t justify another 13.5 hours :/

I really liked the beginning! Once it got into the condo renovation/my kid is obsessed with Minecraft/my fitness watch stuff, I started to feel like I'm really just not the target audience.

Sauuur bored

When you’re a inpatient psychiatrist but you completely disdain the mentally ill

This one is for the philosophy heads and/or people who have read all of Diderot/Henry James/Faulkner...I am neither of these.

Wasn’t enjoying. Flat characters, nothing happening.

Middle grade set on a border island that's half-US and half-Canada, starring an expat American kid recovering from tuberculosis and a Canadian girl who's obsessed with Prohibition-era gangsters and solving the death (murder?) of her last dog. She also has a new dog, but that one doesn't really interest her.

Despite all of these elements, the story crawls. I found the characters irritating and the pace mind-numbing.

Interesting concepts but clunky writing. Not clicking for me

Super repetitive writing from the first page. I don’t need to hear the mc’s inner monologue if it’s just there to info dump exposition and provide line by line commentary on every bit of dialogue
