Should I finish tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow? (no spoilers) (lemmy.world)

I started reading it a month ago (I'm a slow reader lol) and got to the middle of the book. I really liked the first part but half way it started to feel like it's repeating itself and lose its meaning, like where does it go? It feels stuck.

Is it getting better? Should I push through or just give up?

I hate leaving a book unfinished, so I did get to the end of this one; it was a little bit of a push but not the hardest book I’ve tried to finish.

There were things I liked about it, and some things I felt were unnecessarily melodramatic. Something bad happens, and they spend a lot of time dwelling on it. Realistic, perhaps, but not what I was looking to get out of the story. I think the story would have been just fine without that development.
