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 :)

    I think you feeling that way was exactly what Cormac had in mind. Spoiler for anyone so stop reading, but when his wife kills herself it was depressing but so accurate because be honest if the world ended tomorrow the people who initially survived would start offing themselves within a year. People would start resorting to cannibalism and murder almost immediately. It’s a true apocalypse book that holds no punches and I appreciate it tremendously.
