Throwing Shade and Missing the Mark!
You know that moment when you realize you’d rather scrub grout or alphabetize your spice rack than pick up the book on your nightstand? Yeah. That was me with Throwing Shade by Deborah Wilde.
I kept trying to convince myself I was “just tired” or “not in the mood,” but the truth is simple: if I’m inventing chores to avoid a book, it’s time to call it. The premise had promise, but somewhere between the magic, the mayhem, and the witty banter, I just wandered off and didn’t come back.
Life’s too short (and my TBR is too tall) to force a book that isn’t grabbing me. So I’m tossing this one back on the shelf and moving on with zero guilt. Not every book is for every reader, and this one just wasn’t for me.
Onward!
