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.

    It’s a play I had to read for school but Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire. I honestly was not ready for the ending, and I threw the book across my room. I know there are sad endings to life but I hate it.

      I knew the ending before I read the play, just from pop culture osmosis I guess.

      I mostly remember reading the play on the bus to a band function.
