💀 DNF at 58%. And it's a miracle I made it that far.

Worry not, my Little Barnacles, for this shall not be one of my slightly never-ending, pit-stop requiring DNF reviews. Had this book been deliciously infuriating, I might have found the inner strength to review destroy it with utter delight. But it wasn't, so I didn't. It was just plain crappy in a disgustingly lacklustre way. What a rip-off.

Soooo. Crap cutting time and stuff. I DNFed the shrimp out of this lovely book here because:

① Lupus. 
Yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm a total and complete nitwit with harebrained tendencies, but in my world lupus means, you know, lupus as in, you know, shrimping lupus. Not as in "Supposedly Super Hot Werewolf Dude (SSHWD™) who roams the streets without a shirt on because, come on, shirts are so freaking overrated, especially when you're a Supposedly Super Hot Werewolf Dude (SSHWD™)." And yeah yeah yeah, I might be a total and complete nitwit with harebrained tendencies but I attended Crustacean Latin 101 and do actually know what lupus actually means in Latin, thank you very much. But when I read "lupus" I think "lupus," not "lupus." So QED and stuff.

② The Stupidly Stupid PNR Crap (SSPC™) is getting very, very old. Especially considering this is supposed to be UF. Okay, so it's UF so outdated even my great-great grandmother would have thought it antiquated and archaic and slightly obsolete. But still. UF is supposed to be a PNR-free haven (view spoiler)[I can be so youthfully naïve sometimes (hide spoiler)] so the last thing I expected to read about here was Freaking Mating Crap (FMC™) and its constant companion Instalust Instalurve Instawhatever Bullshit (ILILIWB™). I, quite obviously, loved every single beautiful minute of it.



③ Unlikeable Characters, Inc.
Cardboard boxes have more personality than the characters in this book. I did not like a single one of them. I did not not like a single one of them. Neither did I wish they would suffer a slow, horrible, painful death. I just did not give a shrimping freaking damn about a single shrimping freaking one of them. Because they are as dull and unemotional and flat as a herd of ironing boards. 

④ Bored of Being Bored Because Being Bored is Boring (BoBBBBBiB™).
Bleh Blah Meh. Meh Bleh Blah. Blah Bleh Meh. Me Blah Bleh. Bleh Meh Blah. Bleh Meh Bleh. More or less. Okay, to be honest, the mystery itself wasn't so bad. It was just, you know, kinda boring and stuff. Which kinda bored me to death. When it didn't bore me to death, that is. Which, you know, got kinda boring after a while. Sort of.



➽ And the moral of this Bloody Hell my Friends Keep Convincing me to Read Lethal Books I Think There is a Slight Possibility They Might Possibly Want Me Dead or Something Crappy Non Review (BHmFKCMtRLBITTiaSPTMPWmDoSCNR™) is:
