Cassie
Loved Christian, hated maddy. Did not like the quaker zealot that maddy was. She never seemed to choose Christian. Always her religion even when it would be harmful to Christian. To the very end...it was sad.
Hmm not interested in love story between 12 year Olds. The writing felt clunky and boring. May try another time.
Had a hard time getting into it. Didn't like how women were portrayed and how young they were when they got married....just not interested enough to continue on.
Like the past timeline. Didn't like the present timeline or the ending. Think this author isn't for me.
Merripen is a dumpster 🔥. Any enjoyment of win and family was taken away by immature piece of shit merripen.
Bored, hard to follow. I wanted to try 100 books to read in lifetime but I think some books I'm just not interested in and this is one. Don't want to continue to force myself to read something I don't like.
So excited to get into this one but ended up not liking the characters. I thought I'd relate with my mom dying of cancer last year and being a work from home mom of 2 little kids. But the daughter was not likable, wanted her parents to split from the beginning. The mom was too wrapped up in work and her partners ex. Maybe I'll try again another time.
Dnf, I did not like covid and the politics of covid being brought into the book. Especially when I can out right tell the political leaning of the author. First book from this author I attempted and the last.
Eye roll. Do I believe this bloke innocent, nope. Would some guy who knew these guys were convicted of murder and only known them for 12 hours really leave them with his wife and kids.
Was on track to be a 5 star read and then the virtue signaling woke ideology came in and I'm just not into that. Obviously this will be a favorite for many but not me.
I was going to leave this alone but it's been bothering me so much. the fact that the teenage girl is questioning herself seems very normal. The different gender is brought up by the adult women. The thing that infuriated me was demeaning natural women over transgendered. Because of course a girl wouldn't mind marrying someone twice her age for money and protection. This was actually said in the book. But now that its believed that she isnt a she, well that changes everything. So if the girl wasn't trangendered then force her to marry becuase of course she would be happy for the protection and money. I'm so pissed off by this and insulted. It was really a fun read until then. I tried to keep going but my whole experience with the book was ruined.
Started out really interesting. I didn't like zara. 😕 she hits her “boyfriend” and it's nothing. Addicted to pills. Just makes mistake after mistake. Took away from the story from me. Other things bothered me as well. Maybe will pick up at a later date just to find out what happens.
Hmm..welp I think this was just too long and not long enough. I feel we spent too much time in Gracies head going over repetitive thoughts. Over and over and getting no where. Then when we finally get to the love confessions/romance, it seemed short and the book ended rather quickly after.
For me it was just uneven. I feel like a good editor could have cut a couple of hundred pages out especially in the beginning. I mean they don't even kiss until after page 550.... so 550 pages of Gracies repetitive thoughts and some storyline but not really romance. I didn't feel the romance at all even at the end. I love slow burn romances but this one just didn't work for me. But I'll definitly read the next mz book that comes out.
Felt a bit cringe. Also shouldn't read a book where main characters are in my career field because oh boy there was some stuff there that made me cringe more. Obviously not an author for me.
Really bored and guess I'm not that interest in China's history. The sisters story seemed cool but the main dude was boring.
I think this author is not for me. Her writing is not good. And I've read some really good fanro lately and this felt like a bad copy. Also didn't like the narrator for audiobook. Those male voices made me cringe a bit.
Main character is extremely hateful. Also why would you stay in a job because you hate a guy so much. Idk, main character annoyed me and seemed super childish and couldn't continue.
