And I have set a book challenge for myself for this year of 50 books, and I'm behind now by four books because of it. It just wasn't a book that drew you in or really engaged you in the characters, right? So The Supremes, Odette, Barbara Jean and Clarisse, that was the three of them, and their back stories were all very interesting and really should have been much more prevalent in the book

The moment that you said it was all flashbacks, I was like I immediately knew how I would feel about it. I agree. I think it's so lazy, and it doesn't compare to, like I don't know if you've read a book like this. I'm sure you have. But books that reveal things from the past, like kind of between the lines, like, alluding to certain things but never quite naming them

I feel like you could have simply have eased that in somewhere, weaved it in to the story a bit better by alluding to it and showing us these things and then tying back to it, as opposed to just large chunks of a flashback. Yeah, I have a hard time truly just abandoning a book. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the writer in me that hopes that if my book was doing that, that people would continue and fight through it
