The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic by Breanne Randall
2.0
I'm afraid I'm DNFing this one at 40%. I've been brought out of the story a couple of times already by continuity errors - I'm reading an ARC copy so this may not be reflected in the published title - but it was things like the main character saying she was glad she hadn't eaten since breakfast when she literally just had people round for dinner.... Or saying someone was stood behind her but that "looking straight ahead, her eyes were on level with his chest".
I'm also really struggling with the dialogue. Sadie doesn't strike me as a particularly jovial person but then she tries to make these witty quips that just fall completely flat. And other than that I find myself thinking "get going, get going" with regards to the plot. I'm waiting to feel invested and it's just not happening and with a TBR as big as mine, I have to be a bit ruthless and move on.
I did read a couple of other reviews once I got to this point which reassured me I'm not alone in my feelings.
