Rating: DNF (for now - couldn’t be THAT person at the library and hold up the line of people waiting on it)

I’m calling this a soft DNF. 

Why? I didn’t even finish chapter 2. 

I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately and really nothing has made me want to pick up any of my current reads. 

What I was able to read of Intermezzo before I had to return it to give the next person a chance was okay. 

Unlike the other Rooney books I’ve tried, the lack of quotation marks didn’t bother me this time. I actually was liking Rooney’s writing of the small bit I did read.

However…the small portion I did read gave me two male main characters with the personality of old cardboard and nothing to be desired. Also, Rooney uses one of my least favorite things in a book: unnecessarily long chapters. 

Unlike her other books, I can see myself picking Intermezzo back up when I get a chance to see if I want to finish it. For now I’m not chomping at the bit to pick it back up anytime soon. 

I didn’t hate the portion I read before having to return it to the library, but also nothing grabbed me to make me want to finish it before returning it to the library. 

And that’s why this is my unofficial Intmermezzo review. Reading to be continued…maybe?
