Reader, I DNF it.
This may be a DNF for me. With all the accolades and great reviews I expected this to be a winner for me. Have you read it? Characters lack any depth. Such a great premise of a book but it’s a messy snoozer for me. I’m about 50% through it and deciding whether I should finish it. #Booksky
