Review of 'You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I fail to see what it was that made the BookTube-literaty gush so much over this book.

I tend not to DNF books out of principle, as I've already invested precious time, and there's of course always the hope it'll get better eventually.

It doesn't with this one for me.

If you're into selfish individuals who don't care who they hurt as long as they get what they want, and you prefer it dragged out for as long as possible, then this is right up your alley and you're going to love it.

If you're reading this because of the older man/younger woman smutty romance trope that people seem to like, may I suggest you grab a Mills & Boon (or Harlequin if you're in the US) instead. It would make for a much more entertaining read. Probably better written as well.

Can't get back the time I wasted on this now, can I?
