Had to read it for Book Club
…. if I hadn’t been under pressure to read it, I think I would have dumped it. There was an intriguing story in there somewhere but took some time getting there.

Hated every minute of it. It was a book club read so I forced myself to finish it. Never again will I waste my time on a book I hated from the beginning.

I really liked it. But. It kept going on and on with the same thing, over and over, and didn‘t seem to get anywhere. I put it down 2/3 of the way through and never picked it up again.
