Gone at Midnight

DNF @ 15%

I kept trying to push myself to pick this up, but just couldn't press any further. The writing leaves a lot to be desired; I didn't feel engaged with the content at any point. It really felt like the author was just regurgitating info they found online, and jumping from topic to topic without much of an idea of where they're going.

There were several points at which I had to wonder how much independent research they had really done. One of these involved a quote from Elisa's tumblr, where some thought she could have been commenting on graffiti from the roof. But I recognized it right away — it's literally a quote from the Game of Thrones books. Could she have just been reading asoiaf? Yes! There's no way for me to know whether the author knew this but either they intentionally left it out to make it look like Elisa had written it herself or they didn't do the bare minimum of research it would take to realize this was a popular quote from a popular book series.

Regardless, I just didn't feel like putting time in energy into reading a book I wasn't at all enjoying.
