If you don't mind me asking, how often does revisiting work for you? Generally I've found if something doesn't grab me it probably just isn't for me.

It does work about half of the time. I tend to read genres - so I'll read a lot of Sci-fi for a while, then switch to detective mysteries, or historical etc. Or I'll work my way through all of an author's works if I like them. So when I saw 'First to Die' at the library I grabbed it as I had liked the first book, but I'm sort of in the middle of re-reading all my Terry Pratchett books, in order, so I had the wrong mindset.

Of Adam Silvera's books I've liked about half of them, still have to read 'What if it's Us', so I'll get that and 'First to Die' when I know I'm in a more receptive mood.
