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.
I haven’t read many bad books this year but detransition, baby was one of 2 books I rated 1 star. the book isn’t true to its description, there’s a lot of misogyny disguised as feminism, a lot of enabling abusive behavior, the characters are like 30 somethings that act 12, and it has an open ending that kind of defeats the purpose of the book. I just remember being so disappointed and disgusted because I was really excited to read it
