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.
I like a good scifi book. I like a good fantasy book. So when our book club tried a book about some scifi technowizard and a witch clashing at it like a retailing of Romeo and Juliet I really tried to like it. And then I tried to stand it. And then I DNFd it on like chapter 4. It was like the Author hated teens and decided to write from the perspective of two of them so you can get both sides of the “I hate teenagers” coin.
