DNF post 2 (my did not finish pile)

I wrote a post a few months ago about negative reviews, and how I don't review if I don't finish, and a very wise blogger pointed out that knowing what a blogger doesn't like can be valuable to publishers and authors too. Then another blogger mentioned she did a did not finish post and I thought it was a great idea. So, here we go:

Being Friends with Boys

Being Friends with Boys
I guess I'm just not in the mood for band book maybe? Nothing I can place my finger on and maybe I'll enjoy at another time.
McVoy, Terra Elan*

That isn't to say that the writing is poor or the characters are poorly constructed, it's personal on my end.

I'd love to see if you have a great review of any of these books and what you loved about them.

    I'm totally disappointed you don't like Percy. He's my fave. :) Hopefully the next book you pick up will be amazing.

    I love DNF posts-they are helpful in knowing where the weaknesses of a book can lie. I remember liking Percy Jackson but I only read the first one when it came out and never completed the series.

      For me its all about connecting with characters usually, so not necessarily weakness...

    I do a DNF post once in a while, once I've accumulated a few to add to the list. I'm sad you didn't like Being Friends with Boys. I loved it, and I'm not really a contemporary kind of a reader. If you want, you can check out my review here:
