Books I Didn't Finish in May
Follow Me: I gave up on this one at about 30%. I didn't like the multiple points of view. The characters were self centered and boring. I felt like the "Instagram" star was a cliche and not realistic. It's really hard to like a book when you don't care about any of the characters. I flipped to the end and was correct in what was going to happen. Also, if you move into a new apartment and the lock doesn't work..buy a new one and bill the landlord.
The Summer Villa: I ended up DNFing this one fairly early on. I didn't like that main character at all. I had little patience for an 'Influencer" who feels she is not a good mother, so she spends zero time at home instead of working through her issue and bonding with her child.
The Socialite: I have come to the conclusion that I just don't enjoy books that take place in WWII. I DNF'd this one about 25% in. I didn't like any of the characters. I had a hard time buying the premise. It definitely wasn't for me.
Breath Like Water: I was definitely not the audience for this book. I do enjoy a lot of YA books, I just didn't enjoy this one. It's definitely a case of it's me not you. I have kids and if I ever had a coach or teacher treat my child like the coach did in this book, I would never be able to sit back and let it happen. I couldn't get past that.
To Have and to Hoax: I had heard such good things about this book. I was hoping it would be fun and flirty. I stopped at about 50%. I found this couple infuriating. Both characters were immature. I can only take the non-communication scenario for so long. When James started flirting with another woman in front of his wife, I was done. I don't care if was a set up, that was gross and turned me off of the book.
Sister Dear: This book was really boring. The main character was annoying and a "poor me". Maybe it is the current global situation, but I was just not in the right head space for a character like that. I did skim to the end. I'm glad I didn't finish it, because I would not have been happy had I invested time into a character only for it to end the way it did.
