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.

    We Were Liars, Normal People, and Daisy Jones and The Six.
    Such trash, jesus christ. Can’t figure out how people can even like these books, much less love them.

      I’m reading Daisy Jones at the moment and I can honestly say I do not understand how this book has blew up the way it has. It even has its own TV adaptation which is confusing since it’s written entirely in interview style excerpts and thus makes it extremely difficult to immerse yourself in the feeling of the book in any real way.
