You wanted to read the book, you were excited to crack it open, you came into it with good faith and anticipation… but you ended up dnf-ing it. Which book and why?
Mine was The Maid by Nita Prose. It was for my book club and looked like a fun murder mystery. Instead I got instant manic-pixie-dream-neurodivergent-girl vibes, and I noped out before the crime scene was even found.
The kaiju preservation society. I loved the name of the book, the premise and the start of the book. Then it got progressively worse by the page. Halfway through and all the characters felt like they were caricatures of each other and I really didn’t care what was going to happen it to whom. Stopped forcing myself to read once I realized I was just waiting for it to end.
