A review by kovost
A Straight Line to My Heart by Bill Condon
2.0
I feel like I missed something and I don't know what. There's a lot of great reviews about this book and I just honestly feel like I might've missed something, but truth of the matter is that I was bored.
I don't really have anything against this book, but the only reason I finished it was because it was quick—at 77% into it, I was just sorta skimming/floating through the book because I wasn't invested in it. I could've just left it as a DNF (and probably would have if the book were longer) but like I said, it was a relatively quick and somewhat painless read, albeit also boring more often than not.
There wasn't really anything bad about it—the writing style wasn't bad (though it wasn't anything grand either) and the characters were alright, kind of bland in the grand scheme of things. I was amused with some of the banter between the characters, the relationships were cute and heartwarming, but I just wasn't feeling it? I 100% understood what this book was about and I even related, I just didn't connect. Which probably makes as much sense as a donkey wearing a tutu but oh well.
It wasn't a bad book—there's generally a reason behind a book having a lot of good reviews; it just wasn't for me personally.
