I loved the idea of it and I really couldn't wait to read it... unfortunately I found it a bit lacking. Not a bad book, by any means, but I also won't be rushing out to recommend it to anyone.

SPOILERS:

The ‘twist' at the end wasn't very surprising. GRRM has shown me that unless it's explicitly shown/stated that someone's dead (and even sometimes despite that) - they're not necessarily dead!

Some of these poems I really enjoyed, some I didn't at all.

I liked this one a lot:

Rubbish at Adultery
Sophie Hannah

Must I give up another night
To hear you whinge and whine
About how terribly grim you feel
And what a dreadful swine
You are? You say you'll never leave
Your wife and children. Fine;

When have I ever asked you to?
I'd settle for a kiss.
Couldn't you, for an hour or so,
Just leave them out of this?
A rare ten minutes off from guilty
Diatribes – what bliss.

Yes, I'm aware you're sensitive:
A tortured, wounded soul.
I'm after passion, thrills, and fun.
You say fun takes its toll,
So what are we doing here? I fear
We've lost our common goal.

You're rubbish at adultery.
I think you ought to quit.
Trouble is, at fidelity,
You're also slightly shit.
Choose one and do it properly
You stupid, stupid git.

0.5

Painful to read. Could tell what was going to happen ages in advance. Poor sentence construction and very unrealistic and wooden dialogue.

Really enjoying getting to know the characters; in particular, Adam. Looking forward to the third book already.

I also loved Vinegar Tom. I want him.

Enjoyed it but the ending was pretty obvious from quite early on.

Really 3.5

interesting, couldn't put it down. but ultimately a bit unsatisfying.

I mean eh, it was definitely readable but I CAN'T GET OVER THE BIT WHERE SHE TAKES A PROZAC IN THE MORNING (for the first time in months) AND THEN PUTS ONE UNDER HER TONGUE TO ‘HELP WITH ANXIETY'. FLUOXETINE DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY FRIEND.

was gonna be 4 stars until the last few pages...

Hovering around a 3.5 but decided to round it up to 4.

Actually finished on 21st Dec.

What an absolute douche.

I found myself liking this despite finding taryn to be a bit of a moron.

Some cliche elements but found myself enjoying it despite that.

overall I liked it although I think some clarification could be added/edited when it comes to the nicknames and real names. couldn't put it down though! great concept.

One of the weirdest books I have ever read in my life, and I have read some weird shit. Couldn't put it down. Was a little scared I would have a nightmare about clowns :P

Only because 0.5 stars wasn't an option. Terrible book.

mentioned in mothers reckoning. want to read for popsugar 2017

I did not sign a permission slip for this feels trip

Really a 3.5 but I'll round up to a 4 because I like her.

I can really relate to Magrat.

not my favourite of her books.

ridiculous and I loved it.
