Daisy's Run by Scott Baron
1.0
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
This book is incredibly confusing to review because every single chapter in the first 50 per cent was a struggle to get through. I seriously considered DNF’ing after the first sex scene because it made me cringe so, so hard.
And it’s not just that it was badly written either. I mean, it was terribly written but in addition, every single thing Daisy does, ends in badly written, cringeworthy sex.
However, after you get past the first half of the book (it’s a struggle) the plot develops, and gets really interesting. The scientific explanations are thorough and easy to understand without making the dialogue boring, and the concept in general is pretty cool. I just wish the book had been this was from inception.
Overall though, what I couldn’t shake off was this deep-rooted prejudice that seemed to run through the book, and though it can be written off as the main characters inherent prejudice/racism/stereotyping(?) it felt like more than that, and it was uncomfortable.
I doubt I’d continue with this series.
