DNF Round-Up: May

One DNF in May, I'm shocked, really I am. I had a really, really good reason for this one though, because there was a very real chance I'd murder some fictional characters if I carried on.

I was really looking forward to this one too, it sounded fun and flirty and just an overall good read. The reality? Stilted dialogue, adult characters that don't read like it and oh yeah, the insta-love kiss of death. Mwah.

04/06			17.0%	"20 Notes within the first 17%. Broke a record. Want to strangle the pretty much all the characters so far. Not a good thing."
04/07			25.0%	"Insta-love. Spoiled rich bitch. Spoiled rich dick. Nope. Can't do it."

I have this one for review, but haven't read it yet. Bummer you couldn't connect with it. I've heard that from a few people. I'll definitely lower my expectations if I do pick it up. You're right: One isn't bad at all. I hope June brings you awesome books, too. :)

Yeah, just wasn't what I was hoping at all. But yup, June has brought some great ones too so far! :)

yeah the only insta-love thing would have bothered me a lot... Sorry it wasn't for you.

*sigh* I don't like the say this but i kind if judged this one based on it's cover. I got the impression it would be insta-lovey (somehow with my magic powers) and i read the synosis and just knew it wasn't for me. Hope your next read is better!

I judge some books by the covers, but yeah, it does look like it would, like most of the cutesy fun ones, but that's the appeal. For when you want them, sadly, this one wasn't. :(

Aaaand that's exactly why I didn't even bother to pick this one up even though I had it for review. Glad I didn't, I can see there isn't much to miss. On to better things!

Awh too bad you didn't finish this one. Yep, I thought there was insta love as well, but it turned out pretty cute.

I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I hope you have better luck in June :)
