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.

    Something something Harry Quebert by Joel Dicker. Don’t remember the whole title despite finishing the whole ridiculously long book. I’ll give it 1,5/5 stars, the 0,5 comes from the actual mystery being pretty intriguing (hence me finishing the book at all.) Other than that it’s disgusting drivel with awful characters. The whole plot revolves around a “romance” between a 30-something man and a 15-year-old girl and almost no one sees anything too wrong with it in the story, that tells you everything.

    I’m reading Drowning right now. It does read like a B movie screenplay haha but I quite enjoy it nevertheless. I love everything airplane related.
