Review: About the Night

About the Night by Anat Talshir
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This was one of the ebooks I received for free from Amazon's World Book Day 2019.

I guess I find it hard to get into romances. While this isn't as tacky as some I've accidentally encountered (I never seek them out), it's still not a particularly fun genre to read for me. I find everything just too improbable and the characters too frustrating.

I really don't understand what folks get out of reading about "the perfect love" like in this book. I feel like it just encourages people to have unrealistic expectations of their relationships and give up when things aren't magical from the beginning.

I found the way Elias treats Nasreen pretty despicable. Especially the little aside about, "oh, in my culture it's okay for a man to have a kept woman as long as he doesn't flaunt her about." I just cannot like these people.
