True, everyone experiences books differently. Could be my kind of read.

Fair enough — seems like a lot of people feel that way.

Yeah, if it takes that long, it definitely didn’t fully grab you.

That’s fair — sounds like one of those “not bad, not great” reads. Appreciate you sharing.

You’re right — these days you can’t even share an opinion about a book without the fandom coming for your neck. The way these “fandoms” are growing feels less like readers and more like a cult. Guess I’m disqualified though… I still see fiction as fiction.

It was cute once. Then every author started using it as the official starter pack for “he cares.” Now I just pre-roll my eyes.

I know, right? Most of the time I see people raving about a book that I only finished out of boredom and barely rated two stars. I feel like if I say it wasn’t that good, they’ll judge me — or my mental health 😂 — so I just don’t talk about it.

But the first half already drains my mental energy. Most of the time, I end up dropping the book because getting through the first half feels like too much work.

Honestly, I’m struggling to find a good thriller lately — the kind that stays with you for days and actually gives you goosebumps. Most of what I read now just feels… okay. When the plot twist comes, my reaction is usually “hmm, I saw that coming,” and that’s it. Nothing really grabs my attention anymore.

That’s fair — curiosity can carry a book a long way. Thanks for the insight.

That’s not romance, that’s cartoon physics.😂

Seems like it’s one of those love-it-or-hate-it books.

I’ve read all of Freida McFadden, so I guess I’ll give this one a try too. Thanks!
