Times Like These: A Netgalley Review

Hi friends!

I am back with another Netgalley Review, and this one is going to be a short one because I DNF'ed at 5%. (DNF = Did Not Finish)

Yes. I know what you're thinking; how did she DNF when she was only 5% in? I simply did this because the first three chapters did not catch my interest and I felt like I was wasting my time, when I could be reading another book in my long and never-ending TBR. 

The book that I am talking about? Well that's Times Like These by Laura Carter, due to be released on June 29, 2020.

I wanted this book on Netgalley because the cover is cute, the title is catchy, and it's in Women's Fiction (one of my new favorite genres).

This book follows four women: Sophia, Hannah, Rosalie, & Andrea. Within the first two pages, literally, we are introduced to our four main ladies along with three or four other characters and it got confusing really quickly.

All I know is that Sophia and Andrea are sisters, and Hannah has been best friends with Andrea for her whole life pretty much and then Rosalie gets into the mix somehow. I couldn't really tell you more because I only made it 5% in. 

I think that it was just too many characters at once, and they should have been introduced gradually instead of all at once. I had to keep asking myself who was related to who, who was dating who, and if I needed to draw out a Genogram or something. 

I mean, this book might get better. I don't really know and I couldn't honestly tell you. I just know that the first three chapters made me realize that this book was indeed not for me. 

You can't like them all right?
