Beautiful World, Where Are You (2021)
By LightFury My rating: 1 of 5 stars Progress: 27% (Did not finish) I reached for this book because of Jack Edwards's intro and I'm not too fond of it. Generally, it's monotonous and it doesn't bring you any feelings for either of the characters. Firstly, I don't enjoy reading their conversation when it's like this: Eileen: home safe? Simon: Yes, was just about to text you Simon: I may have brought you a present Eileen: really?? Simon: You’ll be glad to know the shop on the ferry was doing a special offer on duty free Toblerone Simon: Are you doing anything tomorrow night? Eileen: actually yes for once... Eileen: darach is having a birthday thing, sorry Simon: Ah ok Simon: Can I see you during the week then? Eileen: yes please I mean, does it has to be in sentencing instead of the paragraph? And, the couple's conversation doesn't excite anyone, it's dead like no one is keeping the conversation alive but just for the sake of replying.
