And this is now more than I previously knew about the book, as a person who at some point had one (thanks to some awful dork).
Could just never properly crack it open, instant boredom and eye rolls every time. You've given me a closure I didn't realize I needed lol
Yeah I added this to my ereader years ago after a friend recommended it enough times that I felt obligated to. Opened it once but couldn’t fight the feeling that it was going to be terrible so never started.
Yeah it's interesting, there are apparently people who start it and feel drawn in, I definitely had the opposite experience, sounds like you too. Some subconscious observation that just screams "schlock".
