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 :)

    Your example book is one of my least favorite books! It just really wasn’t for me. I borrowed it off a coworker and just surreptitiously slid it back on the bookshelf one day. I didn’t even get to any of that gore yet either. I just feel a bit vindicated that someone else has singled it out.
