I will certainly come back to it. Thanks for this post. It will be the difference between me burying it on the shelf and actually coming back to it sometime soon. This may sound weird but I also think the physical copy of the book has something to do with my putting it off. It was a ThriftBooks purchase so used. The condition is fine but it's the tiny book with tiny print, yellowing pages and thick enough where it doesn't turn so easily to be held in one hand. Hard to describe and weird nit I know but here we are. Definitely coming back to it though.
More than halfway through
The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye in 4 days. I consider myself a very slow reader but there's a place for books like this. The writing is really bad, but that almost makes it easier to read. It's a nice palate cleanser after a heavier book and a nice confidence booster heading into bigger more challenging books. I have to say I'm enjoying it even though it's ridiculous, predictable and poorly written.
