Novels I started but didn't finish in 2025

While I read just a chapter or two of some novels and just didn't come back to them, there were only few this year that I devoted time to and then abandoned. 

In alphabetical order by author:

  • One Day With You - Shari Low: just no.
  • The Hungry Dark - Jen Williams: I got three-quarters of the way through this but it was so unrelentingly grim, and the characters so improbable, that I couldn't finish it.
  • The Year of the Child - Niall Williams: too pretentious to bear.
I started and wasn't enthralled by but may come back to:
  • The Friend - Dorothy Koomson
  • Aphrodite - Phoenicia Rogerson
