I don't know what to say. In general, I love the books about books genre and feel tremendously indulgent towards them. If they want to include a cheesy romance plot I wouldn't normally read? Sure! Preposterous action or bad writing? Go for it. Be as quirky as you want. I'm here for you.

That said, I just can't stand this book and I'm not sure why.

I read it as a snobby teenager, and I hated it back then. But being twice that age now, I wanted to give it another chance.

I put the audio on hold at my library and waited weeks for it.

I listened to the first hour last night on my way home. It felt....a little tedious....a little melodramatic, maybe.

And this morning, I realized continuing it feels like an unutterable chore. I feel like I should give it a bigger second chance, but.... Nah.

Why though? What is wrong with me?
