⬜ A Reluctant Roommate from Sassafrass


DNF's and didn't reads (view spoiler)[

DNF'd Holiday Hoax at 5%. The H's POV was terrible... all within the first time meeting him. It was one thing for him to be an ass from her POV, but from his he was STILL an ass. This guy isn't for me.

DNF'd Honestly, I'm Totally Faking it at 17%. These weren't characters. They were caricatures.

I subbed Royally Not Ready for Royally in Trouble. Somehow I missed that RiT was Book 2 and in this case they need to be read in order.

DNF'd Us, Again at 13% because the H starts out the story as an unbalanced stalker and I just.... can't.

By January 28th I'm admitting I'm not going to complete this list. The last three I didn't try no longer even appeal to me as a reader. They've been entirely removed from my book list(s).
