Book Review: "The Overthinking Cure" by Dr Jessamy Hibberd

Kindle     Audiobook     Paperback

⭐ out of 5

If you've read any of my other more recent book reviews, you'll know that I start them off with this same first paragraph that says that each book starts off with the full 5 stars and that I'm also hopeful that they are all still in place by the time I close the back cover.  You'll also know that I'm not shy about removing stars but I always give my reason(s) for doing so within the review - they don't just disappear.


I was approved to read an DRC of this book by the publisher and Net Galley but there was no option to download it onto my Kindle for some reason, even though there's a Kindle book available.  I'm reading it through the Net Galley app and hope that I don't forget that I'm reading and reviewing it because it's not on my Kindle.  I won't be commenting on the look of the book or any page errors as I don't know what it looks like on my Kindle.


Let's get going with the reading and reviewing shall we?


I'm only on the first page after the dedication and copyright etc pages and I'm already getting a headache because the text is so small and I can't find a way to increase it so at 3% the first star is already wobbly!  Actually, scratch that, I've read a sentence so far and it's pretty much totally unreadable because of the font and size that has been chosen for this book, so after one single sentence, the first star is coming off already.


I haven't even managed to read the first paragraph and it's totally unreadable for me unfortunately, so this is not only a DNF it's a barely started too!  I'm taking off the three remaining stars because I can't safely read it at all!


I've scrolled further forward just in case but there are images and graphs and the font hasn't changed size so there's no way I can read this book unfortunately.  I really hope they fix the font before it's published otherwise there may not be many happy readers unfortunately!
