I'm coming to the realization that I probably need to stop taking recommendations on books from people. The ones I chose are generally good, the rest...it's a gamble.
The date went well!
@Mancunian, the book got really violent and bloody regarding a character I liked and killed off someone I adored. I saw it coming, but underestimated how brutal it would be and I just dont handle that level of violence very well.
I know I'm writing a boring story with stuff I find interesting. And it's fine because it's my story and I like it. I'm sure your readers will like the things you write because it's you writing them and you're a great writer.
