To Hate Adam Connor, by Ella Maise
Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
i take full blame for ever picking this book up. lucy's stalking of adam is mentioned on the blurb, so i really should've known better than to start reading.
as a lover of rom coms, i'm no stranger to how the genre can be problematic at times. humour is subjective, and to hate adam conor is a reminder of that. i found lucy to be weird, juvenile, annoying, perverted and deeply unfunny...she is not the quirky girl-next-door that she thinks she is. somebody lied to her several times! typically, i love a flawed heroine, but i don't think i have it in me to brave 400 pages of lucy's story.
