A review by lanidon
Cross the Line by Simone Soltani

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
DNF @ 11%, I realized the start was so bad it could never recover for me

This is info dump tell tell tell central. The characters directly address the audience to explain their whole lives like this is an AA meeting instead of slowly unfolding for us. Also I hate hate hate when characters are already obsessed with each other before the start of the book, it is always lazy writing to not put the work into developing the romance and showing why they are good together. You can't just tell me those moments happened off page and move on. 

Also the FMC is complaining about how her life is so hard because she hasn't gotten a dream job in the two weeks since she graduated. Meanwhile she has loving parents who are willing and able to financially support her indefinitely, a brother who can fly her around the world like it's nothing, and an obsessed celebrity handing her said dream job out of thin air. I wish we all could have such terrible lives
