I am 22M and autistic.
My parents bought me 4 books for the holidays and I was excited to read them all. I have read 2 already and quite liked them, I am now starting to read the third.
But it has been 2 days and I have so far read only 56 of the 328 pages in the book. I am struggling because I’m not enjoying the characters, the writing is confusing to me (which is also embarrassing because I am an adult and this is labeled as a YA book), and so far anything that has happened in the plot seems to come out of nowhere.
I think some of you will say “just stop reading it” but I tend to not love to do that because I feel guilty and also like it’s incomplete and that stresses me out.
Also because my parents chose them for me and they always try hard to make sure they will get something I will enjoy so I don’t want them to be sad if I stop reading it or say I did not like it.
Should I continue to read it or stop and what should I do for talking to my parents and saying I do not like it? I feel bad about it and also what if it ends up being really good and just the first part is bad? I am overthinking this but idk what do I do
