Really considered DNFing. I was so bored.
But the last 20% was good. Kind of wish I had only read the last 20%.

Prose for readers who prefer poetry.

Really fun read.

Snarky. Too snarky to be finished in one go, in fact.

I ate this up like a whitefish bagel.

Totally fell in love with both the characters.

A little slow and repetitive at first. And the laconic style does make you feel as if you were watching a play, not reading a novel... but in the end, things tie together in a pleasing way. All in all, not too bad.

Yeah??? it???s a no.
It was cute, I did kind of liked the characters. I did also appreciate the representation of disability.
But the constant lechery... I mean, I get it was supposed to be smutty but... Damn, it was cringy.
Also, did every comment either of them make need a half-page review on its effect on the other???s body? Like: ???Let me make you dinner???, and then we see how her nipples harden and how she can???t control herself (for what feels like an hour), and then eventually she allows him to make that dinner. A whole new meaning was given to ???slow-burn romance???.
Then, the unnecessary use of swearwords. Well, uncomfortable, to say the least. 108 times the author hat thought that ???fucking??? is the best intensifier to drive the sentence. Come on! That???s just lazy writing. (???Her answer was so fucking sweet.??? ???I fucking love you.??? ???She needed a decent fucking friend.??? ???He???d been drooling over her fucking ankles for weeks.??? ???Kissing your fucking hand.??? ??? I could go on???)
All in all, it had it's moments. But I won't be reading the other two.

Cringe. Oh... so many layers of bad...

So cute.

Well, at least he wanted less (Less, sorry). Actually, the fact that he wanted Less (less, sorry), made the whole thing make sense.
The writing is amazing, the charm I fail to see.

Her weirdly absurd humour is so up my alley.
Also, I thoroughly enjoyed her syntax. But I might have a thing for long sentences. And paragraphs that never end. And sentences that start in “and”.

I found my new favourite book.

DNF at 100 pages. Cannot be bothered.

I want mourners to bring this book to my funeral. Then sit next to the grave and read it.

It had it's moments, but I really struggled to like it.

Just plain loved it. Clever, thoughtful, entertaining. Wonderfully written and paced exactly to my liking.

A little too concerned with itself, perhaps, but funny and intelligent and thought-provoking. Enjoyed it very much.

Incredible.
So sweet and thoroughly enjoyable.

He's a RUDE man-boy and she's pretending on so many levels, takes offence of the wrong things and helps hide criminal activity without evern reflecting on it being wrong. How was this cute?

Despite being slightly annoyed by the constant change in voice (not just POV), I absolutely loved it. I loved the air in between the short paragraphs and the punch of the short sentences. The humour. The depth, the breaking apart and then bringing everything back together. The balance.
So well done.

Hated all characters, sobbed like the saddest idiot. Figure that out.

“Everything must come to an end, especially nonsense perhaps.”
But it was good kind of nonsense. Funny. Sweet. Highly plot-driven. The right amount of absurd.
“Allan considered that in general it was quite unnecessary to be grumpy if you had the chance not to.”

Patronizing, self-promoting, insensitive.
Yet, by and large reasonable and at times thoguht provoking.
But mostly appalingly self-obsessed.

There is absolutely no way that this is Joey's favourite book.
