A Really Gay Book: It's Not Remotely About Christmas by Zile Elliven
2.0
Cawpile: 3.93 2.5*
So, I mean I'd heard a lot of really good reviews about this one, but just.. no. Sat on nope mountain, waving a crown of nope. This was totally in at number one in contenders so far for 2023’s ‘Not the book, but not for me’ category.
I mean I know it was meant to be crack! fiction, or, I *assume so* because if not then my GOD what were they smoking when they wrote it and can I have some?! But also more to the point what have the reviewers on Goodreads been smoking for it to have a 4.38 rating
The 4th wall breaks in themselves as a concept wouldn't have been a problem, as a *concept* but it was just what the MC was *saying* that was the issue.
The only way I can think to describe the MC is - imagine if you went into an evil geniuses lab, and found the craziest squirrel that was running in circles, biting its tail, looking almost rabid. Then you transposed its brain into a human, and-without taking that rabid nature away-injected genius serum and trained it to fall for someone to obsessive levels.
Now I’m told the author would enjoy this description of their MC. I hope they would, I don’t mean any offense, the character has just been left in the microwave a few seconds too long on ‘nuts’ setting, that’s all…
