I always feel guilty when I DNF a book. I used to power through and end up in a reading slump for a longgggggggg while but then realized I can... just... stop reading it. I still have trouble DNFing books so I'll likely pick them back up again and hope it's better but usually isn't and I end up in the same cycle again. If you do DNF, do you feel guilty?

This book is quite literally about HOA nightmares; no but in all honesty, I don’t feel anything for this book, I don’t hate it or like it. First, I couldn’t bring myself to care about the siblings because there was nothing interesting about them, none of them have a redeemable thing about them. Second, the writing is not my cup of tea, I found it weird, and it made me not care about the story at all. Third, I was bored most of the time while reading, the story was interesting, but again, the characters intentions and inner monologues ruined for me. I don’t care about it, I could see why so many people liked it, but it was not for me.

I'm really interested in learning more about the awesome folks I've connected with on pagebound so far. I've interacted with many of you, and while we usually stick to books because it's a common love we all share, but I realized I only know a little about each of you through those conversations. That is totally fine if that is how you'd like to keep things, so no pressure to answer 😊. A little more personally about me: I'm a father (mid 30s) of 2 beautiful little girls (3.5 years and 7 months), married to an amazing woman and mother, and we also have 2 French bulldogs 😊. I'm currently a software engineer and my primary focus is infrastructure (all the boring stuff that websites like pagebound runs on behind the scenes and serves it all over the world), but I also freelance in web development still since it's where I got my start. Fun random fact: I was top 500 in overwatch season 3 🤣 Super happy to have met everyone and will hopefully continue to meet as this community grows 😊 Please don't forget to practice good internet safety when answering! 🫣

I'm on chapter 5, and the book feels weird, I don't know how to explain it, I'm confused about the characters. I'll keep going, but very I'll be very cautious.

I'm not a mother & the thought of motherhood feels very foreign to me (& this book so far is certainly not helping to redeem it), but this scene with the finger painting...seems like the mother couldn't expect any other result? of course, if you're going to have a 2 year old finger paint in the living room, paint could easily get everywhere? not feeling much sympathy for her in this scene at least...

The book was fine, interesting, I could relate to some of the chapters because they were funny and you could feel the emotions the author was expressing, but most of the chapters were way too long and said too many unnecessary or irrelevant things to the book, which threw me off many times while reading. Overall, it’s was a fine book, sometimes relatable, other times not so much.

For reasons I cannot explain, I didn’t hate it, didn't love it either, because, yes, it was bad, but somehow bad in way that it was so ridiculous I just had to laugh and roll my eyes all the time while reading it. It was also, mostly, very very predictable; however the ending made everything worse, like, why write a sequel book that would ruin original?. The ending was so underwhelming and bad, just lazy ending to a ridiculous story. As I said, I didn’t hate it, at the end, I just don’t care about it enough to remember it, unlike the original novel, that has stayed with me for years and years. I don’t think this is a must read if you loved Rosemary’s Baby, because this book shouldn’t exist at all, so skip it completely and move on with your life.
