1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2020

Yet another book i've been taken in with by the unwarranted hype. I didn't like the way the book was written and laid out. Too much jumping back and forth from what the characters were saying, the narrative and the back stories. This book just wasn't hooking my interest. I managed to read 20% then gave up as it was boring.

I had a hard time understanding this author’s writing style. Everything was so confusing & choppy, it was hard to follow. After a half hour, I gave up & up it down. Sorry

1.0 out of 5 stars I don’t get it

I think I’m a pretty smart gal. Well educated. Read 60-70 books a year. And this one I truly didn’t understand. Changing years, locations and narrators every few paragraphs. No connection with the characters at all. No real point. No beginning or end. Brutal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Self indulgent

I was looking forward to reading this book by this acclaimed author. Very disappointing. The author never introduced me to a character I wanted to care about. It jumped all over the place, in a disjointed way. It felt like the author was trying very hard to show how creative and poetic she is. It did not stretch me, teach me, nor move me.

1.0 out of 5 stars It’s a hard pass for me :(

I really wanted to like this book. I really did. It honestly was not a good read to me and I’m so surprised that it made the New York Times best seller list. It jumped around ALOT to the point where it was really upsetting. She didn’t go into detail about sooooo many things. Getting through this book was rough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did not flow well

This book sounded interesting, however the storyline did not flow for me. It seemed choppy and it left me confused in many places. I love reading books by new authors. The jacket of the book was beautiful.

Forced myself to read the whole book. It did not appeal to me, but obviously did to others.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not enough substance
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020

I didn’t like the Way the author did not expand on the characters. Had to figure out who was talking as one character just blend it into another. The writing was excellent but just not enough character plot for me
