#squalo probably: choking on his own tears

[famiglia-lealta]

jetblackknight asked: [ For Neri, of course ] ☕ + books that reel oneself in with a good premise, but absolutely falls flat within the first few chapters to the point one has to " DNF " the book : D

"The few people that I've told in confidence that I'm quite fond of the odd romantic novel, sometimes with a more supernatural vein suggested I might like to try something more expansive, like the Twilight or the Fifty Shades of Grey series."

"Look, I'm just going to outright say it - they're terribly written! I couldn't even make it past the first few chapters of the Fifty Shades book, considering the author must have been so excited they forgot to have a proof-reader check it over first! There were so many spelling mistakes - and a few pages that just outright repeated themselves! Who even thought I'd be interested in a book like that anyway?!"

"At least I can say Twilight was a little better in that department, but I feel like watching paint drying on a wall would have had more interesting relationship dynamics than the hours I've lost attempted to read whatever that story was supposed to be about."
