Delicious Monsters by Liselle Sambury
Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
DNF@ 27% of the audiobook. This is so very tell not show kind of writing, especially in the Brittney POV where she and her co-host Jared break down and explain everything they're thinking and their theories about what they just learned.
The pacing of Daisy's POV is incredibly slow compared to Brittney's, and it's creating massive tonal whiplash for me. This is especially noticeable by the dual narrators, who are both decent but are pretty awful at acting out voices or working out conversations. Often I can't tell when they've switched to someone else talking.
I can see what this book is trying to do - because it's so obvious, neon glowing signs on every page obvious - but the journey there is just not for me.
