A review by laurieisreading
Zij en ik by Nic Stone
Did not finish book.
I think you guys really would like to know why I DNF'ed Nic Stone's Odd One Out at 31%. Well, there are a few reasons.
The main reason is the messy, distractive formatting of the book. The story is told in short paragraphs with looooooooooots of empty spaces between them, even within dialogue. This distracts me from the story and makes it feel distant to me. And WHY SO MANY WORDS IN CAPTIAL LETTERS?
Then, I knew what I was starting before I actually started and I knew that this might not be the story for me. I'm not one for fluffy and cute, that bores me. That's just a matter of taste, nothing to do with the themes of this book. I tried, I really tried, but this is just not for me. I will read Dear Martin though since I want to read at least one of Nic Stone's books before she's coming to The Netherlands in April. However, that book received much better reviews instead of these mixed (mostly negative) ones. Odd One Out is receiving.
Thank u, next.
