Rubies from Burma

DNF for me. I wanted to like this one but the formatting from the get-go ruined it for me. It has a pretty scattered thought process and the lack of quotations, or any sort of conversation separator, made it very hard to stay invested in. When I'm reading, I don't want to decipher who is speaking and where their dialogue ends.

I also felt like there were so many unnecessary filler paragraphs which made what I did read lag a lot.

I saw so many good reviews for this one, which has me wondering just how many are accurate. The premise sounded intriguing but sadly I just couldn't get invested in the story.
