Funny Story – DNF (3/4 of the way through)
Despite my initial anticipation for “Funny Story,” a novel penned by the talented Emily Henry, I found myself disenchanted by its storyline and pacing. The plot failed to captivate me, leaving me disinterested and ultimately prompting me to abandon the book three-quarters of the way through. Acknowledging that life is too precious to squander on unfulfilling reads, I embraced the liberating act of shelving books that fail to resonate with me. This newfound practice has empowered me to prioritize quality reading experiences and savor literary treasures that truly speak to my soul.
Per Amazon:
