Book Review: "Fake Accounts" By Lauren Oyler

 

I've always been taught to tell the truth no matter how hard, no matter who it might hurt, no matter the circumstances.

I received this book via Goodreads giveaway so I must start off by giving them my gracious thanks even though it took just over 8 weeks to receive.

I was inundated and still am with over 300 ARC's on Netgalley so I tucked this aside until I had the right frame of mind and time to present to the task.

It was a gorgeous sunny weekend here in Northeastern Pennsylvania, the birds were chirping, the sky was blue, the weather was humid but it was all good.

I figured this past weekend was ideal to read and boy was I wrong.

I tried the entire weekend to get into the groove of this one as the editing was horrendous but I just couldn't wrap my mind around this story.

It took off in way too many directions. It had a woman who seemed adamant about what she wanted yet still played hard to get and indeed created a fake account.

It was at that time I gave up because it was just too difficult to sludge through for the sake of not taking the dreaded, 'DNF.'

Honestly, I gave it my 'atta-girl' try but I decided that two-wrongs never made a right. In fact, I'm not quite understanding the premise. If a guy screws you - you screw him- what happened to the high road.

In fact, it was a guy who was a conspiracy theorist - to each their own- why not just end it- why go snooping into his shiite?

I have a hard time grasping the overall appeal for this and would rather simply walk off into the sunset.

Thank you Goodreads for this giveway and to those who were able to make it to the end- Congrats! You have my devoted applause and pats on the back.
