The Many Dates of Indigo by Amber D. Samuel
Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.
I honestly say I really did try with this book. But oh my god did it piss me off so much. I dnfed at 50%.
So first of all I would like to say I did not like the narrator for this audiobook at all. Oh. my. Did not enjoy when she was the male voices and a lot of the scenes made me cringe and I do not know if it was the writing or the narrator.
Secondly, was the guys name Nate or Tate. Cause the blurb says the childhood friend is named Nate yet the narrator says Tate and all the other reviews of this book say Tate... SO MAYBE I'M THE ONE THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO READ.
Third, I already passed my mid-20 to 30 crisis. You know the one that if you're single and have never been in a relationship you feel the societal pressure to get married and have babies. It's not it for me, its annoying and Indigo for me felt like a drama queen that enjoyed living in this crisis and didn't do anything. about it.
Fourth, did I also hate the fact that this book has indirect purity culture with the judging Indigo if she was sleeping around, a woman that rarely date. Had only one boyfriend, yeah make her feel guilty for having sex (even thought she wasn't having sex).
Fifth and last, the thing that did piss me off was the fact that a person being a recovering alcoholic was a dealbreaker for Indigo when it comes to dating. You have the right to maybe not want that in your life, but her reaction to Nate saying he was an alcoholic really threw me off. I did not like ANY of the conversations I did read about this. Nate's sobriety shouldn't be put on someone else and if he was struggling and wasn't sure he shouldn't have been dating.
That's it, that is. my opinion and I really did try and like this book. Thank you so much netgalley for the audiobook version of this book.
