What book have you read that wasn’t subjectively “bad” but you regrets reading all the same?

For me, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. The book was engaging and it kept me on my toes, but I just with I hadn’t “poisoned my head” with all the graphic gore that was in there. I years later i still think about this and how I really wish I had never read it.

Question inspired by a comment /u/PrincessOfWales made in another thread :)

    Bless The Child by Cathy Cash Spellman, it absolutely terrified me. I was sleeping with the light on for weeks. The film had nothing in common with the book apart from the title. I passed it on to a relative and he binned it halfway through because he didn’t even want it in the house. The weird thing is that the author used to write family saga type romances.
