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.

    Bunny by Mona Awad was without a doubt not only the worst book I read this year, but the worst book I have ever read in my whole life. The plot could have been interesting and unique, but it flops hard. The “Bunnies” are some of the most underdeveloped, unlikeable and indistinguishable characters I have ever encountered. I get that they aren’t supposed to be likeable, but they are so insufferable, it made me cringe. I also could not even tell the difference between them the entire time, it’s like the author even forgot who was who while writing it. Also, the amount of time the word “bunny” is used in this book is egregious, it’s obnoxious as hell and distracting. The main character is totally incapable of making any sort of reasonable choice and is really just pathetic. The “twist” to me felt like an afterthought, it really had nothing to do with the rest of the story, and the story itself really couldn’t deliver on the concept it set out to achieve. The only reason why I even finished it was because I couldn’t believe how much love this book gets, and I needed to see if it ever redeemed itself. It didn’t.
