Didn’t finish it. May later. Not my thing. Feels like a bunch of gibberish and hard to want to focus and not set the book down.

Tampa by Alissa Nutting

Did not finish book. Stopped at 61%.
I really tried to get through this book but I just couldn’t. The incessant need to talk about her physical appearance and horniness without any other substance annoyed me as I had extremely high hopes for this. I tried so hard to finish it but every time I went to reach for it I dreaded it. It wasn’t the concept that upset me, it was the execution. Sad to DNF this halfway through.
