Read and enjoyed Invincible Summer and now I'm reading Rules of Attraction, which is going very well.
I attempted "D1vergent". Writing is strong but the premise is waaaaay too ridonkulous for me to read on. Five faction society? Sorry, no way. And, it's incredibly rare to have affinity for two or more factions? No smart people are honest? No selfless people are brave? Say what? 20% of teenage girls are not permitted to look in the mirror or do anything for their appearance? Gah!
Now reading "Bestest. Ramadan. Ever." so far very interesting
DNF.
I got more than half-way through, and the story hadn't changed at all. Meaning, there was absolutely no depth to this story, no unexpected turns in the plot, no character development, no nothing. In a word, generic. It's just the same thing over and over and over again. There's only so much of that I can take. And while the MC's past experiences that led her to this suicidal state are admittedly heart-wrenching, it's entirely predictable.
Ugh. Sorry. Has anyone else read this? Please tell me there is some grand unique thing I'm going to miss by not finishing it. Otherwise, back to the library it goes.
