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?

Apparently this is extremely popular, but The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
Also maybe The Book of Leeds: A City in Short Fiction which is an anthology featuring several authors from Leeds. This book was okay, except I had bought it specifically to read an author I had enjoyed in the past, only to find that his “short stories” were just excerpts from books that I had already read. I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise, so while the writing was fine, I’d give it a low rating for lack of transparency. :/
I“What the river knows” Your review sounds exactly like what I would say. Awful characters, the female lead was annoying & had no depth, beyond crying & not sleeping. The male lead was a smirking, drunk red flag. Neither had any development whatsoever. It was incredibly repetitive & the mystery part of the novel is never solved. The fantastical “magical” elements were just thrown in without any explanation.
It’s advertised as being like the movie The Mummy, it’s insulting to the movie.
The sword of truth. It’s just a rip off of books you actually liked and the series as a whole is incredibly problematic from multiple angles.
Harry Potter. So full of plot holes, mcguffins, and mary sues it’ll make your teeth ache. The fanfic is great though.

Let It Snow by John Green
A feast for crows.
Hidden Pictures - even the author knew it sucked and try to compensate for it by having the recovering drug addict main character ‘attempt’ to have written the story in the style of the overly and obnoxiously adored jk rowling… I will never never understand why people where going so crazy for this book. It’s so poorly written and so full of casual racism, misogyny and endless nonsense. I hated absolutely everything about it.
Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
Verity. 🤮
Also, Twilight.
My answer is and will always be The Night Circus. I hate that book more than I can explain. Reading it was a waste of precious hours of life. Time better spent doing anything else.
I have not got so low as 0 but I have read a few political rants disguised as novels

Self Care by Leigh Stein.
Book feels like writer was confused during the exploration of the characters set in self care startup.
