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.
FWIW I really liked Big Swiss. Not in my favorites of the year, but solidly entertaining. I thought the transcription sequences were inventive and memorable (the main — not titular — character is a stenographer for a therapist), where she’s typing out recorded therapy sessions and reacting to them. I think it’s a pretty “New York” book though, for anyone who’s lived in the city and spent time upstate. The setting — Hudson, NY — was really its own character for me. I can definitely see it being not for everybody.
