DNF @ 22%

This was a letdown. I was excited to get into this as it looked to have some paranormal elements. But I didn’t even make it far enough to see the spookiness.

I just couldn’t get past our main characters. I felt they both fell flat. I found myself unable to connect to either of them. Their “instant” connection with one another with this forced proximity despite hating each other over the past year felt, well, forced. I found myself rolling my eyes at their lust toward one another after only being in each other’s presence for such a short amount of time. With how much both of the MCs claimed to hate the other for “ruining their career” as we bounced between their perspectives, it led to an unbelievable reconnection at this writers' retreat.

I hate to DNF but after barely making it a quarter of the way through and not enjoying it at all, I knew this just wasn’t for me.
