DNF @ 55%. I just can't do it.

Everything about this one just rubbed me the wrong way - the chemistry between the two was non-existent, the dialogue was cringey and the whole obsession with the artist was just strange. Oh and the cringey roommates too! No thanks.

I do think if the audiobook narration had been better I could have just powered through, but the British accents put on by the female narrator were awful and I couldn't stand listening to it. (I am British so it really grates when they're done badly, sorry!). I don't understand why they don't just get a British voice actor instead.

From reading other reviews, I just know it won't get any better for me so I'm out. Life is too short to read (overly long) books you're not enjoying!

I absolutely loved The Takeover so I'm really disappointed this was such a miss. I will try Christopher's story as he seems more tolerable than Elliott, but Tristan will always be the superior Miles brother.
