2.0 out of 5 starsHair buns + cinnamon buns = boring.....
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2022
Ok, so haven't finished reading this yet and I'm not sure if I will. My kindle says I'm 36% done and I'm not sure how much more I can take. I read the '7 Husband of Evelyn Hugo' and found it to be such a fun, captivating read that I couldn't wait to read another book by the same author. I found the premise of this story with two alternate versions of reality based upon a single, split-second decision one night to be interesting. But I can't decide which version of events is more boring. Additionally, a few pages in, I'm wondering if all of the protagonists in books by this author have big boobs? Seriously, this is the defining feature of the main character Hannah. She has big boobs, she always wears a hair bun high on her head and is obsessed with cinnamon buns in a way that makes it very, very weird. Buns, buns, buns. Oh and boobs. Physical voluptuousness aside, Hannah is a flat character and her friend Gabby's defining feature is pontificating politically correct feminism. The male characters are (so far) pretty one-dimensional. The characters and storyline are just not that interesting to me my expectations were set much higher from reading another book by the author first.
Edit: It is important for me to add how disappointed I am in the part of the book where the protagonist tries to take a stray dog on a city bus and lies about the dog being a service dog. This type of behavior, which is sadly quite normalized, is very harmful to people who actually have legitimate service dogs and often have to fight for accommodations.
