I read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, and take enjoyed it. Read another book, then started reading Devil and the Dark Water by the same author. I got about 25% through and just decided to drop it for something else. I'm not an avid reader so i never know if I should stay committed or not.

I have never been ashamed in just straight up throwing a book down if I'm not in pretty quickly. Not everything is going to be everyone's taste, and classics of all genres can be dull if you don't find the premise interesting. Too many books out there to slog through anything lol
