I actually ended up DNF-ing (Did Not Finish) this novel because I just couldn’t get into it. I read about 50 pages and was just so bored with the story, the writing, the plot. There just wasn’t any part of the story that appealed to me, which I find so hard to believe because I can generally get into any book and love it.

I will not be trying to reread this as it’s honestly one of those books I can never see myself getting into. When I first picked it up, the synopsis gave me a hint of a memoir style of reading and I absolutely love memoirs. But as I read, I was just blown away with how boring the writing was. There was no sense of wonder and even the story was just lacking that hint of storytelling that makes a story this grand thing, that catches your attention, and leaves you wanting more.

Don’t let my opinion on this affect whether you pick This Is the Life up for yourself, because you never know, you could love it!

“When she’d gone I said to Louis, ‘How come no one here has any worries?’ He looked at me, puzzled. ‘Everyone says “No worries,” ‘ I told him. ‘I can’t believe they don’t have any.’ “
