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 DNF’d Daisy Jones and the six, just couldn’t get into it, wish I’d done the same for Verity by Colleen Hoover, nearly rage threw that book out the window, it was one of the first books I read after a long reading slump and my god was I worried that was how books were now

        I watched the Amazon adaptation of that. I basically liked it, but that ending was so ridiculous! “Oh by all means, look up the women who derailed our marriage after I welcomed her!”
