👶👶: You, Me, and the Colors of Life, by Noa C. Walker

This one, from the end of last summer, was a sadly a miss for me.

Some descriptions were just a bit too, shall we say, "unique" for my taste: "At first, he was like a steak defrosting in the fridge after years in the freezer." Ummm🤔...

And my biggest pet peeve in a novel is rhetorical questions, and this book was chock-full of them:

"...but was it also to stay close to Janica? If so, why was he avoiding her?"

"What was holding him back? The fact that Janica found Steffen, not him?"

"Was it wrong of Thomas to interfere, especially when his brother was so fragile?"

Ugh😩, you get the idea... I just can't... as a reader, I prefer to have questions answered, not asked of me🙄!!!

This was also a translation, so it is possible that may have added to the contrived feeling of the story in general.
