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.
The Measure. I DNF but got through most of it. It just seemed poorly written. 2022 had worse books in it for me but I no longer try to read Colleen Hoover type stuff that people recommend to me.
Agree about The Measure. Drastically overstayed its welcome and felt like my emotions were handheld through the book.
agreed!! i also DNFed it because all of the characters seemed the exact same & one dimensional. plus it was very virtue signal-y
