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.

    What’s the tea with Big Swiss? It’s on the “Employee Favorite” shelf of every indie bookstore in my town.

      I actually really enjoyed Big Swiss, but it threw me for a real loop mental-health wise. The characters are not good people, but they all think they’re good people - and that was enough for my sister to DNF it herself.

      I don’t know. I was bored and stopped reading. I’m confused too!
