The Shallows by Holly Craig
Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.
Emma, the MC, is insufferable đ© She constantly talks about how awful marriage is for her and therefore itâs awful for everyone else. She also keeps using the word âfemalesâ and is the cliche âI donât have female friends because you canât trust them.â
The switching timelines happen every chapter and feels like whiplash. After reading other reviews Emma doesnât get any better, the story is repetitive (I was getting bored already with absolutely no details furthering the plot or building characters), and I guessed the killer in the first 15 pages?! Will not be continuing because itâs apparently going to be just as cliche and uneventful as I predicted
