Erin reviewed The changeling by Victor D. LaValle
Review of 'The changeling' on 'Goodreads'
I hate DNFing books I’ve given a lot of time to, and I hate DNFing books by authors I’ve enjoyed. Sigh!!
I got almost halfway in this one. I enjoyed the beginning, then we got sucked into baby land, and as someone who is not into babies, I found it cringey and boring. I almost DNFed at that point. Then something dramatic happens, and I thought ok, from here on out it’ll be different! And it was, but other things were frustrating me…
I saw one reviewer note how Millennial this book is, and as a Millennial - yes. LaValle is actually Gen X but that’s the vibe. And it’s cringey. The more Facebook was specifically named and played a role in the story I was like, please stop!!
