Please Send Help ~ Gaby Dunn & Allison Raskin ☆ DNF Review

**Disclamer: I did received this book via NetGalley. This had in no way, shape or form affected my opinion on it.**

 

Good morning!

First, I requested this book not knowing it was second in a serie; first one being “I hate everyone but you“. Now I don’t know if reading the first one helped appreciating this second one, but I didn’t read the first – I however had skimmed a few pages of the first one at my book store and was kinda interrested in it, but that’s it.

Publishing date; July 16th, 2019 by St. Martin’s Press

 

Goodread’s page

3 / 3 stars
*Subject to change; book put on pause @ 26%, June 26th 2019.

Representation; Queer/lesbian MC (She refer herself as both, if I recall correctly)
Trigger Warning; Mentions of sexual acts

 

Upon first looking at this book; the title and what it was about, I was thinking it would’ve been more of a Mental Health’s contemporary kind of thing… which is not. I also wasn’t prepared for this book to be entirely written on the email & text-messaging format; which I do like however, as it make it easier and quicker to read.

However, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get myself to move on much onto the book.. even if I do kinda relate to the MCs as I did move out 3hours away from my bestfriend before attending High school; we did just that. Though in our time it wasn’t emails; but texts, MSN chatting (boy is that old..) and videochats – we even mailed each other a letter every month of all that we doodled while in class.

The book in itself was not a bad book, I would’ve been able to finish it.. and I do plan to come back to it, it’s not a throw-onto-the-dnf-not-to-be-seen-again case here; it’s just that i’m being a mood reader and what I really feel like reading at the moment isn’t that specifically ..

 

 

Have you read this one, did you had a different opinion than mine?
Or are you planning to read it?

  1. I hope you do get a chance to come back and read the rest, it sounds interesting, but I’m not sure it’s for me at this time, I’m a bit of a mood reader myself lol it’s all about timing!

    1. Yep, I agree! The book in itself sounds good.. just not what I want right now 😂

  3. Ahhhh! I feel you, about not being in the mood.

    The book does seem to speak of a theme we’re all quite familiar with. Especially the whole distance from best friend and all the struggles—just as you said—we go through to keep in touch.

    I hope when you pick it up the next time, you have a better experience ❤️❤️
