I recently started reading Bright Side by Kim Holden, as I was in the mood for something emotional. It was free on the Amazon Kindle app so I figured I may as well. I know it was popular on booktok and I’ve seen almost nothing but positive reviews, but I feel like I am cringing through every single page. It feels like something I wrote at thirteen when I wanted to post on Wattpad. Does it get better? I find the main character to be an insufferable person created solely to be unique and likable, yet not realistic. No dialogue feels natural so far, and I have not connected to a single character (albeit I have only met three so far). I know the end of the book is supposed to be phenomenal, is it worth it to keep reading? (P.S. I think I already know what the ‘secret’ or sad part might be, based off of one not-so-subtle sentence a few pages in)
