I usually stick with a book, even if it’s not great. However, sometimes I’ll read a line that is just so ridiculous, I have to just give up.

Recently, I started in on a very cheap Kindle sale book that was bad from the first page, but the following line just made me want to throw it across the room-

“Lucy and Emma have doubled over in uncontrollable LOLs”.

Skirmish I think it was a South American trilogy now that you say it. To be fair to the bf, I think he knew I would identify with that character but maybe forgot the details. It was more vivid for me, he hadn't read the book in a while and probably hadn't identified with her anyway so didn't feel it like I did. I gave up on Louis de B after that too!
