Devi Nair
đ§ Listened in audio đ˘ Narrated by Soneela Nankani âą Duration: 8 hours đˇď¸ Publisher name: Simon & Schuster
I really wanted to vibe with this one, especially since it started with such a promising hook, but my interest took a sharp nosedive around the 20% mark. Thereâs a constant cycle of cheating and being cheated on that makes the "found family" aspect feel more like a den of thieves Iâd rather not visit. But somewhere between the constant scheming and the emotional heaviness, my interest just⌠slipped away.
The endless cycle of deception, the constant âeveryone betrays everyoneâ energy, and that lingering sadness that never quite transformed into something deeper. I can handle flawed characters (I love flawed characters) but I need something to hold onto. Here, I could sympathize with Luckyâs situation, but I couldnât fully step into her shoes. The choices she kept making, even when handed a literal golden ticket out, just didnât sit right with me.
I can sympathize with a hard life, but when the scams are constant and the growth feels stalled by page 100, I have to tap out. I ended up DNFing this because, frankly, life is too short to spend it with people who refuse to catch a break even when it's handed to them.
Would I recommend it? Honestly? Itâs a pass for me. The lack of connection to Luckyâs journey made this a struggle I wasn't willing to finish.
