Quite honestly I can’t stand only a few books that I’ve read, recently The Awakening by Nora Roberts.

Holy crap, do I reallllyyyyy want my money back. I was bored. So. Bored. The magic system was subpar, the characters just….ew, everything was so, so boring. The MC is an idiot.

What book is a zero star read for you?

    The Maidens by Alex Michaelides - it’s LAUGHABLY awful, with gross characters, vomit-inducing writing and a terrible, predictable plot. The word that comes to mind is “pathetic”. I wish I had never read it, it actually haunts me.

      There was really nothing redeeming about this one. So boring and the payoff was awful.

      The silent patient wasn’t great either. I finished it hoping it would have a twist that made it worth the hype, but it was very predictable all the way through. I’d be interested in The Maidens if it hadn’t been written by the same author

      If any character in this book had been able to string together 3 coherent sentences of dialogue with another character, the story would have been over in 2 pages.
