Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.
dnf p.156/288
I don't think this is a bad book, it just wasn't for me !
The beginning of the story was really fast and I was really enjoying it, even though I wished that it went a little slower. But then I hit a point where everything felt very slow and repetitive. All the characters outside of Pheby seemed one dimensional.
There was also a lot of graphic violence and I felt like I was just reading a succession of rape scenes.
