A review by onmalsshelf
Perfume & Pain by Anna Dorn

Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.
I now understand why a lot of Gen Xers hate reading millennials in fiction. Astrid Dahl may be the worst character ever?

Since no one else has mentioned it (that I’ve seen)- I will because I know it can be triggering. 

The main character drives while drinking beer and then gets upset that she finished her beer while still having like 45 minutes left of her drive.

Insufferable characters can be great, but to write one so self absorbed as this one, it makes me think what the author thinks is okay for people to do that may endanger others.

I was looking forward to this one, but I’m not going to continue because I’m so mad at this character (and author…and editor)
