The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan
Did not finish book.
My last book of 2019 is a DNF. Very upsetting but I could not continue with this.
1. The author chooses to use her platform to shove social justice and politics at the reader. It is very in-your-face and I just could not get past it.
2. She does this in a way that is very one-sided. As though there could not possibly be any other valid viewpoints to the issue whatsoever.
3. The passive aggressive comments against white people and colonialism had me punching walls.
4. The interactions between the two main characters were cringy. So, the girl is 21, a virgin and instantly wants to give herself to this man just because she met him 4 years ago at a pipeline protest and thought he was the most gorgeous thing ever. Now she randomly bumps into him and is like..."take me now." Give me a fucking break.
And. Keep in mind.This is only 3 hours into the book.i decided to save myself the torture and DNF.
