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 Never Here by Andrea Bartz.

    Truly god-awful and poorly written. I don’t think I’ve ever hated a narrator/main character as much as I did here. The story is touted as a “mystery thriller,” which was the main reason I picked it up, but there was absolutely nothing mysterious or thrilling about it.

      That’s one of the dumbest books I’ve ever read. One of the top review on Goodreads said that they felt dumber after reading this, and I agree.
