#Overhyped

Maybe I built up too much hype for this one, but I finished the book feeling disappointed. I found it repetitive and predictable. Over and over, certain characters made the wrong choices and the maji were tricked by the monarchy. For me, the ending felt abrupt and forced. I still enjoyed the book, but just found myself saying, “That‘s it?” at the end. #unpopularopinion #overhyped #disappointed #toniadeyemi #judgeabookbyitscover

With all the hype surrounding this book, I was really hoping for a lot more. And on top of it, I wasn't expecting to predict the endings of Book One and Two (especially coming from someone who can't predict anything).

Alicia kills her husband then refuses to speak a word. Six years later, therapist Theo is attempting to draw her out. While I enjoyed reading this fast-paced thriller, I really didn‘t buy the twist/reveal, so it kind of didn‘t work for me. Overall I found it a bit thin. #botm

The_Heeler_Booklife This is one of my current reads and I‘m only 20 pages in and find it blah. 6y
AnneFindsJoy Yep, I too found it underwhelming . Shallow unlikeable characters. #overhyped 6y

I know I am in the minority so far for this book but I just found it ok. Not bad but not good either. It was a short quick read but I didn‘t find the characters very compelling or engaging. Plus the big reveal was not all that shocking 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2

AnneFindsJoy I‘m in the same minority as you on this one 😂 Just meh #overhyped 6y

This book was #NotForMe and I bailed. The premise was cute but Dimple got on my nerves after awhile. #jubilantjuly

DNF at 25%. Honestly, I found this book awful. The character names are not original, the plot is boring, and the dialogue is bad as well as the writing. I wanted to like this, but the book had me growing bored and annoyed with how poorly written it was.

#November 7 #Overhyped #Book - I couldn't even get thru this book. #BoyMeetsGirl. Boy falls in #love with girl. #Boy pursues #Girl. Girl says no. Boy tries again. Girl says no again. Boy doesn't give up. It was all really annoying to me. I #read more than half and returned it to the store. #AngieBookishNovember #bookchallenge #bookstagram #BeautifulCreatures #KamiGarcia #MargaretStohl #didnotfinish

Day 7 of #angiebookishnovember is an #overhyped book. I detested this book and then was shocked to see how many people loved it!

Picked this book up after seeing it all over litsy, but honestly don't think the hype was worth it - not for me anyway. The major twist was so predictable that I was frustrated by how long it took Nora to understand.. but maybe that's because it is too much of a rehash of #GoneGirl?? Just a thought.
Though I'll admit it wasn't entirely unpleasant - hopefully #TheWomaninCabin10 is an improvement..
