Getting there. Slowly.

What a pity I can’t give zero stars.

Hated it.

Books like this make grateful to be an orphan.

Tedious.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

You have a newborn. You’re tired. I get it. But do we have to be told over and over again?!? Feels like 50 times a chapter.

This story had better get going soon.

Enjoyed it. The mystery just didn’t grab me.

Nup. I’ve been struggling to read this book for weeks. Boring.

Didn’t finish. I was expecting humour. I got a lot of boring.

Not funny yet. I’ll give it another 50 pages.

Enjoying the book with one caveat. Ms Slaughter isn’t new to this book writing caper. I’m beyond irritated that she couldn’t be bothered getting her facts straight about spinal cord injury. It’s not that difficult to find out.

It’d want to improve.

Really struggling to bother with this book, to the extent that I’m doing anything except reading it.

Tedious. I might not finish this one.

Not as engaging as the previous book but I’ll press on.

Not the most fast-paced book I’ve ever read.

I have the weirdest feeling I’ve already read this book.

Not sure I’ll be able to finish this book. Imagine being Drew - born into a family where NOTHING matters except his sister’s gymnastics.

Not sure I’m going to be able to finish this book. OK but slow up to halfway. Now it’s just gone completely to poo. However, I will press on, in the hope of improvement.

Not sure I’ll be able to stick this one out until the end.

Slow going.

This book needs a dramatis personae. At the beginning of every new chapter I had to pause, gather my thoughts about who the current narrator is and how he/she relates to the others.

It's exhausting and makes for very disjointed reading. I pressed on, waiting patiently for the various threads to come together. When they did, finally, I found myself ineffably disappointed.
