This is going to be a very quick review since I DNF’d this book at 16%. I was excited about this book but I just felt like everything was happening to fast and the relationship between Charlotte and James was super forced. I didn’t want the book to drag but I would have liked to have a little more build than it did. I couldn’t get passed the entire forced together because they are related to Sherlock and Watson. I felt it was missing so much beginning. I know this was probably more me than the book so I wouldn’t say don’t give it a try but it really just didn’t work for me.

Oh too bad! I can see why the forced relationship just felt a bit much. I’m a little worried about that as well without even reading the book! I’m planning on doing a library loan on this one. It has the potential to be great but I’m not all in with the concept.
Too bad this didn’t work for you Michelle ๐ It’s always sad when that happens, especially for a book you were excited about before starting it ๐
Have a fantastic weekend and happy reading.
Aw, that’s too bad, I’m sorry it didn’t do what you wanted! That’s always disappointing when you’ve been looking forward to it and it just doesn’t deliver. Hopefully your next read will be great!
I just didn’t get it, I didn’t understand why they needed to be together. I mean I understand sort of since it was a Sherlock thing but it just didn’t work. It needed a build up.
I am so bummed that you didn’t like this one because I have it to review soon and I wan’t to love it! Sighs, maybe I will like it and the things that bothered you will not bother me as I have been forewarned. I know Lexie liked it so now I have a yea and a nay review…lol. So I am prepared! ๐
I totally wouldn’t go by me, I just didn’t get their relationship but you might. I look forward to your review. It’s fun to read reviews that might be opposite to what you think. ๐
Sounds like we both had a bad month with our my to-be read list picks. I got a 2 star and you a DNF. I am sorry this one didn’t work for you. It sounds rushed and forced and I am sorry it didn’t work for you. I hope your next read is better!
I just couldn’t get passed how forced it was. It distracted me from the story. I just didn’t understand it. Sorry your book wasn’t as good but it least for both of us it’s one book off our TBR.
I hated to start the year with my first TBR list as a DNF but I must say the books I have read since all have been amazing. So maybe that’s a good sign ๐
I’m sorry this didn’t work for you, Michelle. I had high hopes for it. Mine wasn’t really a winner either. Hopefully February’s pick will ROCK! ๐
I think I was expecting more too. I was very bummed but I just can’t force myself anymore when it’s just not working.

I would totally give it a try, the reviews for it are really good and it might have been just me. I would be curious to see if you felt the same way.
That’s a bummer. But I won’t mention I didn’t vote for that one. Nope. *cough* I won’t. lol
LOL it was a bummer but it happens. Vote better next time ๐

I know you loved it and I was bummed I didn’t. Just couldn’t understand the relationship. I was looking forward to it but oh well, on to the next ๐
Aw, that’s too bad, I’m sorry it didn’t do what you wanted! That’s always disappointing when you’ve been looking forward to it and it just doesn’t deliver. Hopefully your next read will be great!
Agreed! Oh well, it might not have worked for me but it got a lot of great reviews.
Bummer! I was hoping this would be a really great one ๐ I can see why you had a problem though. I would too.

Sorry you couldn’t get into it! I don’t like forced relationships either and especially when they “love” each other right after meeting.
It was a weird forced like it didn’t make sense to me. I think my taste in YA is changing might have to stay away from the YA romance for a bit.
Sorry to hear The Study on Charlotte didn’t work for you! I hope you enjoy your next TBR read a lot more ๐
Thanks Sarah, I was really hoping it would work but I had forced anything! Lol

Oh no ๐ so sorry this one didn’t work out for you. I DNF’d my original TBR book too.

Oh no! I have this one for review as well. So disappointed to see it didn’t work for you!
Well don’t go by me since I have seen a lot of people praising this book. I just wasn’t working for me.
