Yep. Ditch it. If you want to try again, it will always still exist later.

Sounds like they were finished, albeit poorly. They got published which is typically the end of the line for creating books. Maybe you can reform your thinking to reflect that. Their finished product didn't live up to your standards and that's what the review should be.

I requested a book that was easy to consume/somewhat fast and purely lighthearted and positive in the suggest me a book sub and someone suggested this. It's the one I chose due to being readily available and on audiobook (so I can do chores and such while I listen) and it did NOT disappoint.

I absolutely adored it. It was funny without being overly comedic and forced. It was overall just pleasant and heartwarming. It made me laugh, it made me cry, I learned some things, I have possibly no complaints.

As someone who works completely remote it even really resonated that they were so far apart and had such a close relationship within the context of their interactions without having met in person.

I sometimes HATE that my husband won't give me "spoilers" when I ask -usually tv but same principal for books. It's not spoiling anything. I want to see it happen! I'll still watch/read and enjoy it! But sometimes I want to know what I'm getting into.

If bookshelves were cheaper I'd probably have more physical books.

Only sort of joking. We recently (ish) moved and the ancient "antique" bookshelves didn't make the cut - space, style, and durability were all not up to snuff. Now I'm looking for replacements and I just... Don't like any? Don't want to pay that much for them? Idk. Furniture shopping is exhausting. Building wall mounted shelves seems daunting. Anyone with suggestions is welcome to send them my way.
