Disliked a book that was from a previously good author

I disliked *Half His Age* by Jennette McCurdy. And if you remember my post on rs_x I paid like $70 for an autographed hardcover copy and to see her speak with Lena Dunham.

I enjoyed the experience of my first book talk and getting to see two famous people I’ve always mildly admired. I also enjoyed Jennette’s memoir which prompted me to read this book (along w some personal experiences that made me think I could relate).

But I disliked the book a lot. I think I knew like two chapters in. It was very bland and predictable. The characters had no depth. It was also just ridiculously short but parsed enough to seem long. I felt like the whole age gap teacher student thing wasn’t criticized enough, but at least it wasn’t romanticized either.

Sorry I didn’t like it, it’s a two star book.
