What attracted me to this book was its pseudo-Magical Realism with a European twist.
This book was...not good. The premise was good. The ideas were good. But the book really read like a first draft. I mean, I now literally use some of the sentences from this book as examples of bad writing. It felt basic and underdeveloped.
And it was totally inspiring because if this can get published and end up on the best-seller list, then I KNOW I can do it.
So sorry, Ali Shaw, for the backhanded compliment. I truly truly hope to someday be where you are right now. Only better.
