I tried so hard to get through this since i got it as a mystery book from a super cute little bookshop. unfortunately, after 50 pages of me struggling and suffering, i had to call it quits. maybe it was good back in the 80’s but i can proudly say i was not born in the wrong era

never thought id dnf a book but here we are so of course i had to document it for the goodreads “end of the year” recap. first dnf & first goodreads review 🫶🏼
