Thanks Everyone! Your comments are much appreciated 😊
![JanB](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1527313486p1/260116.jpg)
You were smart to give up much earlier! :)

Thanks Michael!
Margaret M wrote: "At 41% you did right to give up because if it hasn’t picked up by then. It’s a massive No. Hope you enjoy the next one 💜"
Exactly, I think I gave this a fair chance :) Thanks!

Thanks TQ!

I had such high hopes, which is why I stuck with it for so long :(
Holly wrote: "I didn't enjoy Glass Hotel, so easy skip for me! Sorry is disappointed."
No I would not recommend this for you then! Thanks Holly!

Thanks Sujoya!

Her books are hot or miss for me. I did not enjoy Station Eleven, loved The Glass Hotel, and this was a miss. Maybe it's timing? 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks for your comment!
![JanB](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1527313486p1/260116.jpg)
I surprised even myself by how much I loved TGH. I hope you do too!

I got mine from the library, lol. Having liked one and not cared for another I didn't; want to request it either.
Gabrielle wrote: "Sometimes it's best just to move on when a read isn't working, glad you can move forward and hopefully find a much better read that'll fit what you're looking for better!"
Thank you so much. This has been a rough reading year :(

Thanks Allison!
Catherine (semi-hiatus while moving) wrote: "That genre is always tough! I hope I can get into this one, but better to move on if it’s not working for you. Good luck with your next Jan! 💕"
Sometimes it works for me and other times not, so it's always worth a try! Thanks Catherine!
![JanB](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1527313486p1/260116.jpg)
We agree on Station Eleven! I hope you have better luck with this one :)

Ah, maybe I gave up too soon? Hmmm, maybe I'll try again later. Thanks!

Thanks so much Andrew!
Lori wrote: "Oh no! I'm not a a huge speculative fiction lover either, so this one may be a no go for me."
You never know, but if you try it I hope you love it. Thanks Lori!
Melissa (In Catch-Up Mode) wrote: "Oh well, at least you gave it a good shot."
I think so too! Thanks Melissa!

Maybe I gave up too soon, but like you, the only reason I stuck it out to 41% was because I loved her last book. Maybe I'll try again one day? Thanks PorshaJo. I'm going to look for your review!
Carol wrote: "I loved The Glass Hotel also, but suspected that this one was "more speculative fiction." Thanks for the confirmation. Jan."
It does seems to be her niche and if I hadn't loved her last book I probably would have passed on this too.
Debbie wrote: "Damn, hate when I hit a DNF! Hope your next is better. I haven’t tried this author yet. I definitely won’t start with this one! Great review!"
So many dnf's this year! Or 2 star reads. 2022 has not been a good year for books for me :( Thanks Debbie.

Honestly, I'm not sure, I was so confused! lol
Think of dnf'ing as a way of freeing up time for a book you will actually enjoy! It's freeing! Not every book os for every reader. It's often not the book, it simply isn't for everyone (no book is!)

![JanB](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1527313486p1/260116.jpg)
Good for you! There's no shame in dnf'ing. Not every book will be for every reader and that's OK!
I hope you moved onto something you loved!
