Bailedbailed

It is extremely rare for me to bail on a book but this was an easy decision. The beginning alone should have warned me: a young man in a rowboat pontificating to a young woman, never realizing the woman has left the boat to swim to shore. I‘ve had enough of those blowhards in my life. 😂😂 Much like the man in the boat, the writing style almost felt like the reader was irrelevant. On the plus side, this was my view when I decided to bail. 😀

AmyG Beautiful snow day! 5y
HardcoverHearts I did this as a buddy read and while it offered so much to talk about, it didn‘t work for me. Believe it or not, I found the beginning of the book the most interesting part... 😳 5y
Suet624 @HardcoverHearts Yes, the beginning was the best part. I continued to read for awhile. 😁 Then I realized I just couldn‘t go on. 5y

Tamra Bailing 👍🏾 5y
Suet624 @Cinfhen I thought of you after I posted the flowered photo. You always have such beautiful flowers in your posts. And seriously, stay away from this one. 😀🥴🤓 5y
Leftcoastzen No shame in bailing, life is too short to power through books that are not speaking to you. 5y
Suet624 @Leftcoastzen Thank you. I think Litsy might be rubbing off on me. I never would have allowed myself to bail in the past, but lots of people do it without a second thought. Also, I'm getting older and I've got to get the good reads in before I kick the bucket! 5y
squirrelbrain I *never* bail on books, but bailed on this one (I had it as an ARC so hadn‘t paid for it luckily). It was just too clever for its own good.... 5y
batsy Ahahaha! I love the bit about having had enough blowhards in one's life. #amen 5y
Suet624 @squirrelbrain perfectly stated. 5y
Suet624 @batsy 🥴😍✊ 5y
arubabookwoman This one seemed to be highly spoken of, but I just bailed on it tonight too. Just couldn‘t get into it. 5y
Reggie There‘s so much buzz about this one but there are also so many bails!!!! 🤔 Nice view! 5y
