Review of 'House of windows' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Meh, I can't even give it a star rating, really don't know what to mark it as.

I really don't know why I continued to read this book and not DNF. I think I was hoping that what the blurb on the back said " Until, that is, he starts to cox for the college rowing crew and all hell breaks loose..." would suddenly happen

Or that would be more rowing natter in there, but it was just mainly spoken about as a passing moment. And the "hell" didn't break lose either, when something finally did happen I was half way through the book, I think I was just committed to finish it.

I could easily have not read this book and I wouldn't have missed much either.

At least it kept me from doom scrolling twitter for a few hours.
