It was a refreshing aspect, and I loved the idea behind the story, it was just the overwhelming urge I had to shake the characters until their words popped out. They kept internalizing ALL of their thoughts and feelings, so NOTHING was resolved. Stagnant would probably be a good word.Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-43496853245640982552018-02-23T08:30:56.498-05:002018-02-23T08:30:56.498-05:00Ugh I hate when a book makes me roll my eyes.

I'd get annoyed with the "ordinary" comments too. Sheesh! That's cool that the first time they are intimate it's from Harry's perspective though!

People tell you that it will "fly by," but I didn't really understand until I had kids.<br /><br />I hope you like it!

We were thrilled when he chose tofu tacos the following day, lol. <br /><br />It was an okay read! I didn't love or hate it, but found it obnoxious at times. The actual story was good, I just didn't like all of the self-loathing.
