Bride

Now that I've had to process my thoughts... this book honestly wasn't very good? I feel like this book suffers from a lack of world-building, a lack of editing, and a pretty flimsy plot with a ton of infodumping or telling instead of showing. I also struggled to like Lowe and his relationship with Misery, as I felt as though they didn't have any chemistry until approximately the 60-70% mark. On the positive side, I really enjoyed Misery on her own and the dry and occasionally dark humor. But overall, this book is missing the charm that Hazelwood's other books have.

P.S. Is the name ‘Misery Lark' in reference to “dorothea” by Taylor Swift, in which she says, “making a lark of the misery”? Or is there another meaning? I know Ali is a Swiftie, so I thought this might be the case.
