Now I'm not saying the FMC is an idiot but I'm saying she's an idiot... granted I'm dnfing 20 pages in but she doesn't deserve redemption.

Life is too short to try and finish this.

How long is this....

Not for me.

I was so bored.

A fever dream mess that needed to end.

DNF

It was just: Eh

Too much 'not like other girls' vibes.

It was slow going, and I know I only read 50 pages, but it was 50 pages of feeling meh about Picture Perfect.

I had such high hopes for this, too; I don't normally get to read romances with brown main characters, and this was perfect, but it fell flat. I wasn't hooked from the beginning, and to be honest, it didn't feel like it would get any better... but not that it was bad it just wasn't interesting like I don't mind slow burn or fake dating, they're usually my favourite tropes, but this wasn't it. The conversations felt artificial, and also, it was very short, like I was 50 pages in out of what 293? like it isn't long enough, and my biggest fear was that it was going to end up rushed. I get it fake dating is a popular bandwagon, but I just felt this was missing something, which was a shame because the plot had potential.

[No rating cause it wasn't finished.]
