I have two. The Ritual and Drowning.

The Ritual is pure smut. 61 chapters and every one contains a graphic, demeaning sex scene. I’m convinced the author was an adult film screenwriter and decided to try their hand at writing a novel. There isn’t a single likable character in this book.

Drowning isn’t a great work of literature. I felt that the characters were very two-dimensional. I hated how naive the author made the protagonist. It made me have a lack of sympathy for her. The ending was series finale of Dexter bad.

    Never Lie by Frieda McFadden. Not only was it the worst book I’ve read this year, it is on my bottom 3 list for worst books I’ve read in my entire life. I hated it so much that it still surprises me that I could hate a book that much. I hated the characters. I hated the plot. I hated the prose. I hated everything about the book. To me, it was almost like the author was actively trying to write the worst book ever written.

      Same for me! Not that Freida McFadden books are ever all that good but this one was horrifically awful.
