A review by hobbit_at_heart
The Pairing by Casey McQuiston

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.

I got a handful of chapters in, and just felt so truly bored. This storyline fell so flat for me. I love Casey’s other works soooo much but this storyline felt so boring and uneventful. Theo I thought was a guy until I realized she wasn’t and that felt ultra disappointing somehow. The back and forth “I still have feelings for him but I hate him” trope makes me wanna gouge out my eyes. Like figure it out or don’t, but don’t try to suck me in to your bullshit lol. 

Kit seems interesting but I feel like we don’t get any insight as to what his deal is or was, at least not by the time I stopped reading. He seemed really kind and nice and she was always inwardly  grumpy towards him? Idk. 

I *maybe* might try this again at a later time, but as of August 2024, this is a big chonky DNF for me.
